Giancarlo C. Righini is a physicist. He worked for almost 40 years at CNR, the National Research Council of Italy, in Florence and Rome, becoming research director of various departments. After his retirement from CNR, he was director of the Enrico Fermi Centre in Rome (2012-2016). His research interests concern optical holography, fiber and integrated optics, and glass materials. Dr. Righini has published more than 500 papers and has been chair of several committees at international conferences. He was vice president of IUPAP and of ICO, co-founder and president of the Italian Society of Optics and Photonics (SIOF), secretary of EOS, and member of the board of directors of SPIE. He is chair of the Technical Committee on Glasses for Optoelectronics of the ICG,fellow of EOS, OSA, SIOF, and SPIE, and a meritorious member of SIF.
