Ferdinando Borghese (26 May 1940–19 January 2017)

Abstract:

Here we summarize the life and scientific legacy of Ferdinando Borghese (1940–2017). He has been a pioneer in the theory and modeling of light scattering by nonspherical particles and clusters in the framework of the transition matrix approach. His work has found applications in many research fields ranging from interstellar dust to aerosol science, plasmonics, and optical trapping.
