In human thermodynamics, Umberto Lucia (1966-) is an Italian physicist and power engineer who develops researches in applied thermodynamics and complex systems.
Overview
In 2012, Lucia developed a new approach in firstly religion thermodynamics. This paper was on communication and analogy in the overlap of religion and thermodynamics, based on St. Thomas Aquinas, the theology before the Protestant and the Catholic Schism, and secondly neurological thermodynamics, such as his 2013 article “Irreversible Human Brain”. [1]
Education
In 1991, Lucia completed a degree in elementary particle physics, at the University of Turin, for work in meson spectroscopy, after which he did a significant amount of work and research in thermodynamics, at both the nuclear level and macroscopic level, eventually completing his PhD in energy in Florence, Italy. [2] Lucia currently is an assistant professor of applied and engineering thermodynamics in the energy department of the Polytechnic University of Turin, Italy.
