Mirco Ghini (Dr. phil)
Mirco Ghini passed away at the beginning of 2001. The intellectual void he left is immense; to that is added an abysmal sense of personal loss for all who knew him. When Mirco died, he had just defended his dissertation and was in the middle of several projects.
Although his dissertation was complete and several articles had been written and submitted to various places, Mirco was unable to complete the final stages of production. Due to the efforts of a dedicated group of people, these last pieces of Mirco's intellectual contribution to the field have now also been posthumously published.
This page lists all of the publications available by Mirco.
