Paolo Radaelli

Paolo G. Radaelli is Dr Lee’s Professor of Experimental Philosophy at the Clarendon Laboratory and Associate Chairman of Physics.

Following a Laurea degree at the Università degli Studi  di Milano and a PhD at Illinois Institute of Technology, Professor Radaelli has held posts at the Argonne National Laboratory, CNRS Grenoble, the Institut Laue–Langevin and the ISIS Facility at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory. His main interest is the study of transition metal oxides displaying novel physical phenomena, such as high-temperature superconductivity, “colossal” magneto-resistance or multiferroics behaviour, with the potential of device applications.

Paolo is a keen sailor, having recently achieved the RYA Coastal Skipper Certificate, and tries to spend a few weeks every year sailing in the Solent and in the Mediterranean. He was a crewmember of Team Switzerland in the Atlantic leg of the Round the World Clipper Race 2013/14, starting from London in September 2013.  He is also an amateur pianist and continues to pursue his interest for music in a variety of ways.
