Enzo Tonti (30 October 1935 – 10 June 2021[1]) was an Italian physicist and mathematician, known for his contributions to engineering and mathematical physics.

Life

[edit]

Enzo Tonti was born in Milan. He attended a fine arts high school. He graduated in Mathematics and Physics at the University of Milan in 1961.[2] He began work there in 1962 as a research assistant in the field of mathematical physics. In 1976, he accepted a professorship at the Engineering Faculty of the University of Trieste. After retirement, he was nominated professor emeritus. He married in 1962 and had three children (two daughters and one son).
