Salvatore Magazù is Full Professor of Experimental Physics since 2002 at the Department of Mathematical and Computer Science, Physical Sciences and Earth Sciences (MIFT) of the Messina University in Italy. He is currently President of the Interuniversity Consortium for Applied Physics. He was chairman of the Scientific Committee on Glass Forming Systems at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF, Grenoble) and member of several Scientific Committees at ESRF and Institute Laue Langevin (ILL, Grenoble). He has been a Le Studium fellow within the framework of the ARD 2020-COSMETOSCIENCES program at CBM UPR 4301 CNRS - Orléans and at the ICMN UMR 7374 CNRS - University of Orléans and associated researcher of Le STUDIUM within the project titled “Structure and dynamics of liquid materials” at the hosting laboratory Conditions Extrêmes et Matériaux: Haute Température et Irradiation CEMHTI – CNRS, Orléans, France. He is member of the “University Research Centre for the Study of Extreme Environments and Extremophiles” at Department of Biological and Environmental Sciences of the University of Messina. He has received several international and national prizes, such as the Scientia Europaea 2000 Prize by the French Academy of Sciences and by Aventis. His research activity concerns the structural and dynamic characterization of disordered systems of biophysical interest such as bioprotective systems, biomolecules (proteins, antioxidants) and water. Its transdisciplinary approach relies on the integrated use of complementary spectroscopic techniques such as neutron scattering, synchrotron radiation and optical spectroscopies.

He is S. Magazù is author of 710 works: 345 articles in international journals (273 on Scopus); 45 articles in books.
