Luigi Federico Signorini

Luigi Federico Signorini (1845–1919) was an influential Italian physicist and a pioneer in the study of thermodynamics and statistical mechanics. He made significant contributions to the understanding of heat transfer, especially in relation to radiation. Signorini is best known for his work on the thermal properties of materials and how they interact with electromagnetic radiation. His research helped lay the groundwork for modern physics, particularly in understanding how energy moves and transforms, influencing various scientific and engineering disciplines. His insights remain relevant in fields like materials science and engineering today.
