Baldassare Di Bartolo is Professor of Physics at Boston College, Chestnut Hill,

Massachusetts, which he joined in September 1968. He received his first degree, Dottore

Ingegnere, in Industrial Engineering, at the University of Palermo, Italy, where he was

graduated in 1950. After a year of post-graduate studies at the Istituto Superiore delle

Telecomunicazioni in Rome, he was granted a Diploma of Specialization in

Telecommunications. Another Diploma of Specialization in Radar Technique followed in

1953, granted by the Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche in Rome, after an additional year

of post-graduate studies. From 1953 to 1956 he worked with the Microlambda Company

in Naples as design engineer in the field of microwave components and taught courses on

Information Theory at the Istituto Universitario Navale in Naples.

In 1956 he received a Fulbright grant and a scholarship from the Massachusetts

Institute of Technology (M.I.T.) where he worked as a member of the "Foreign Student

Summer Project"; he returned to M.I.T. in 1957 as a visiting fellow in the Department of

Physics. In 1958 he became a staff member of the Laboratory for Insulation Research of

M.I.T. and from 1960 to 1963, while still with this laboratory, he was a graduate student in

Physics. He received a Ph.D. in Physics from M.I.T. in 1964. From 1964 to 1968, Dr. Di

Bartolo directed the Spectroscopy Laboratory of MITHRAS, a division of Sanders

Associates, Inc. in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
