José Luis Giordano (JLG) is an Argentine-born Italian experimental physicist who lives in Curicó, Chile (187 km South from Santiago).

He currently is Associate Professor at the University of Talca (Chile), working at the Faculty of Engineering in Curicó, as (since July 1999)
- Member of the Engineering Sciences Department 
- Head of the Materials Research Lab
- Lecturer and Responsible of the "Materials Engineering" Courses
- Lab Instructor of "Classical Electromagnetism" Courses

JLG is also working in the design of experiments for Engineering and Physics Education, mainly on
 - Power and Digital Electronics,
 - Magnetic Circuits,
 - High-Tc Superconductivity, and
 - How Things Work, in INICIATIVA PROFÍSICA

In collaboration with his colleagues at the Higher Polytechnical Center  of the University of Zaragoza (Zaragoza, Spain), and the Low Temperature Group at the Bariloche Atomic Center, he is studying the transport and shielding current distributions in hard superconductors.

JLG has studied Electronics and worked in Electronic Design and Troubleshooting. He studied Physics the Faculty of Exact and Natural Sciences of the University of Buenos Aires and the Balseiro Institute (S. C. de Bariloche, Argentina). He obtained a M.Sc.D. in Physics from the University of Buenos Aires, and performed his Master Thesis in Applied Magnetism and Magnetometry in the Development Division of the Applied Physics Department, at the Bariloche Atomic Center.

Mr. Giordano obtained a Ph.D. in Physics from the University of Zaragoza, carrying-out his Ph.D. Thesis work in Applied Superconductivity and Magnetometry at the Higher Polytechnical Center and the Materials Science Institute of Aragón (Zaragoza, Spain).

On the other hand, JLG has always worked in Physics Education at high school and university levels. He loves Science and enjoys teaching Physics. He likes Electronics, Model Rocketry, Science-Toys, Photography, Paleontology, Astronomy and the diffusion of Science. Also, he particularly likes Science-Fiction and Silent Movies, music, travel, talking with good friends and colleagues, eating 'Pasta e Gelati italiani', tasting Swiss and Belgian very dark chocolates as well as Belgian 'doppio malto' beers, and Irish Pubs.
