270 Millennium - A Marquis Who’s Who Magazine SCIENCES, PHARMACEUTICALS AND BIOTECHNOLOGY using numerous diagnostic techniques that he developed and described in Electromagnetic Waves for Thermonuclear Fusion Research, published by World Scientific (2014). Today, they have become standard tools of Controlled Thermonuclear Fusion Research. Referenced in more than 250 articles in various prestigious scholarly journals, Dr. Mazzucato’s findings have garnered him the title of Distinguished Physicist of Princeton University. He was also elected as a fellow of the American Physical Society and has been featured in several Who’s Who publications, including the 63rd and 68th through 70th editions of Who’s Who in America. Likewise, he was presented with the Albert Nelson Marquis Lifetime Achievement Award in 2020. Post-retirement, Dr. Mazzucato is currently developing the design of new reactor schemes that differ from those fusion nuclear reactors that society utilizes today. A native of Padua, Italy, Dr. Ernesto Mazzucato received a degree inphysics, cum laude, from Padua University in 1960 and went on to become a research physicist at Laboratorio Gas Ionizzati of Frascati in Italy. Holding the position for a number of years, he also earned a Libero Docente in plasma physics from the University of Rome in 1970. Upon his arrival to the United States in 1972, he settled in Princeton, New Jersey, where he was employed by Princeton University as a distinguished research fellow in their Plasma Physics Laboratory from 1972 until his retirement in 2014. Dr. Mazzucato entered the field of controlled thermonuclear fusion research with the goal of reproducing nuclear fusion reactions that can power the sun on Earth. While at Princeton, he performed several experiments, where a mixture of light atoms were brought to temperatures of more than 100 million degrees Celsius to force their nuclei to fuse into heavier elements, and in the process to transform part of their mass into energy according to the famous Einstein equation E = mc2. These experiments were conducted DR. ERNESTO MAZZUCATO PHYSICIST, DISTINGUISHED RESEARCH FELLOW (RETIRED) Princeton University Princeton, NJ
