Angelo Tartaglia is a former professor of the Polytechnic University of Turin, Italy. He attained a degree in nuclear engineering at the Politecnico, and a degree in physics at the University of Turin. He is now a member of the Italian National Institute for Astrophysics (INAF). He taught basic physics in the engineering faculty and relativity and tensor calculus for the PhD students of physics at the Politec-nico. His main research topics are space-time structure and cosmology, gravito-magnetic phenomena, and relativistic global positioning systems. He is a member of the collaboration implementing the Galileo for Science (G4S) project of the Italian Space Agency (ASI). Angelo has also dealt with problems connected with complex systems and the compatibility between the present human way of producing and consuming and the global equilibrium of the Earth's ecosphere.
