Ugo Amaldi; born 26 August 1934, is an Italian physicist, mainly working in the fields of particle and medical physics. Amaldi studied at the University of Rome where he graduated in physics in 1957. He started his career as a researcher at the Italian National Institute of Health (ISS), where he later became research director. Shortly after he took up the appointment, Amaldi led an ISS group of physicists carrying out nuclear physics experiments at the laboratory CERN in Geneva. As of 1973 he became CERN staff member. From 1980 to 1993 he served as spokesman for the DELPHI Collaboration, which operated an experiment at the Large Electron-Positron Collider (LEP). Amaldi retired officially from CERN in 1999, when he reached the fixed retirement age of 65. Between 1990 and 2006 Amaldi was physics professor at the universities in Florence and Milan. Amaldi is founder and president of the TERA foundation—registered in Italy—since its creation in 1992. The foundation works within the field of tumour therapy with hadronic radiations.
