Stellenbosch-inwoner en een van die Universiteit Stellenbosch (US) se top-akademici, prof Francesco Petruccione van die Skool vir Datawetenskap en Rekenaardenke, het onlangs \u2019n buitengewone eerbewys ontvang toe die Italiaanse ambassadeur in Suid-Afrika die Orde van die Ster van Itali\u00eb aan hom toegeken het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die Ordine della Stella d\u2019Italia <\/em>is \u2019n Italiaanse eerbewys wat soortgelyk aan \u2019n Britse ridderskap is. Petruccione het die toekenning op Saterdag, 4 Junie gedurende die viering van Itali\u00eb se Republiekdag in Kaapstad van die Italiaanse ambassadeur, Sy Eksellensie, Paolo Cuculi, ontvang. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Petruccione, wat in Itali\u00eb gebore is en verlede jaar as \u2019n professor in kwantumrekenaarwetenskap aan die US aangestel is, is deur Cuculi as \u201ceen van die voorste kundiges in kwantumtegnologie\u00eb\u201d en \u2019n uitgelese akademikus en navorser beskryf. Petruccione was voorheen die Pro-visekanselier: Groot Data en Informatika aan die Universiteit van KwaZulu-Natal (UKZN). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDeur sy akademiese en navorsingsaktiwiteite het hy nie net die grootste kwantumtegnologie-navorsingsgroep in Suid-Afrika gestig nie, maar ook voortgesette transformasie op sy kundigheidsgebied bevorder met die doel om die gaping te oorbrug tussen navorsing en innovasie om volhoubare ontwikkeling tot voordeel van burgers te verseker. Prof Petruccione behou gereelde kontak met die Italiaanse gemeenskap in Suid-Afrika, wat tot die versterking van bilaterale betrekkinge tussen Rome en Pretoria bydra,\u201d het Cuculi ges\u00ea. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2019n Paar dae n\u00e1 die plegtigheid het Petruccione steeds van trots gestraal. \u201cDie weer was Sondag mistroostig, maar dit was \u2019n vreugdevolle dag. Ek voel nederig en baie dankbaar,\u201d het hy ges\u00ea. \u201cHierdie eerbewys verleen erkenning aan my werk in teoretiese fisika en getuig van die mag van wetenskaplike navorsing en die najaag van kennis. Ek is diep dankbaar vir hierdie erkenning en bly verbind tot bydraes tot die wetenskaplike gemeenskap.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Petruccione het eers tien dae voor die geleentheid gehoor dat die Orde van die Ster van Itali\u00eb aan hom toegeken gaan word. Hy het dadelik die nuus aan sy vrou, Monique Labat, oorgedra, maar het eers n\u00e1 Sondag se plegtigheid sy 87-jarige ma in Itali\u00eb gebel met die nuus dat hy nou \u2019n Cavaliere <\/em>(ridder) is. Hy het \u2019n sertifikaat met die handtekening van die Italiaanse President en die Minister van Buitelandse Sake ontvang, asook \u2019n medalje en \u2019n borsspeld. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Al het hy nou \u2019n ander uitgelese titel benewens professor, terg Petruccione dat hy nie daarop sal aandring dat sy US-kollegas hom \u201cSir\u201d noem nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die Orde van die Ster van Itali\u00eb gee spesifiek erkenning aan Italianers in die buiteland wat vriendelike betrekkinge en samewerking tussen Itali\u00eb en ander lande bevorder het. Petruccione het Itali\u00eb op 18-jarige ouderdom verlaat om in Duitsland te gaan studeer, maar het altyd noue bande met sy tuisland gehandhaaf. In Desember verlede jaar het hy bygedra tot die fasilitering van \u2019n memorandum van verstandhouding (MOU) tussen die US en een van die voorste institute vir teoretiese fisika ter w\u00eareld, die Internasionale Sentrum vir Teoretiese Fisika wat in Trieste in Itali\u00eb gele\u00eb is. Hy het ook \u2019n rol gespeel in \u2019n MOU tussen die US en Cineca, die grootste ho\u00ebprestasie-rekenaarwetenskapsentrum in Itali\u00eb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Petruccione het oorspronklik fisika aan die Universiteit van Freiburg in Duitsland gestudeer, waar hy \u2019n doktorsgraad in navorsing behaal het. Hy is in 2004 as professor in teoretiese fisika aan die UKZN aangestel. In 2005 het hy \u2019n Innovasiefonds-toekenning ontvang om \u2019n Sentrum vir Kwantumtegnologie op die been te bring. In 2007 is hy as bekle\u00ebr van die Suid-Afrikaanse Navorsingsleerstoel vir kwantuminligtingsverwerking en -kommunikasie aangewys. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hy is die tussentydse Direkteur van die Suid-Afrikaanse Nasionale Instituut vir Teoretiese en Rekenaarwetenskappe (NITheCS), \u2019n verkose lid van die Suid-Afrikaanse Akademie vir Wetenskap en die Afrika-akademie vir Wetenskap, asook \u2019n genoot van die Royal Society of South Africa. Hy het sowat 250 referate in eweknie-beoordeelde wetenskapvaktydskrifte gepubliseer en het die grootste navorsingsgroep in kwantumtegnologie in Suid-Afrika opgebou. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Petruccione het al dikwels ges\u00ea sy hooffokus is om die gaping tussen fundamentele navorsing, innovasie en ontwikkeling te verklein om probleme op te los en volhoubare ontwikkeling te verseker. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOns het nie die miljarde dollars wat lande soos Amerika en China in kwantumrekenaarwetenskap en -tegnologie\u00eb bel\u00ea nie, so ons moet slim speel. Ons moet ons nisgebiede vind en daarin uitblink. Ons het dalk nie die hulpbronne om ons eie kwantumrekenaarwetenskap-toestel te bou nie, maar ons kan op sagteware en die ontwikkeling van algoritmes en ander instrumente fokus. Navorsers hier gebruik kwantumrekenaarwetenskap byvoorbeeld om beter benaderings tot masjienleer te ondersoek en om volhoubare ontwikkelingsdoelwitte aan te pak. Dis pret om aan sulke innovasies in Suid-Afrika te werk. Ons het geleenthede om mense betrokke te kry en vorm te gee aan wat gebeur.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die afgelope jaar in Stellenbosch was \u2019n wonderlike ervaring, het Petruccione ges\u00ea. Hy hou toesig oor agt nagraadse studente en word deur hul entoesiasme vir kwantummeganika ge\u00efnspireer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDis opwindend om deel van die US-gemeenskap te wees. Dis moeilik om nie van hierdie dorp te hou nie. Benewens die mense, kan jy die beste koffie, kos en wyn hier kry. Gedurende beurtkrag maak ek en my vrou dikwels \u2019n draai by Rome in a Bite vir \u2019n Italiaanse happie.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
