Professor of Quantum Theories at the University of Rome I, La Sapienza, Rome, Italy.
Research Interests : Giorgio Parisi is a theoretical physicist of exceptional depth and scope. He has contributed at the highest level to particle physics, computer science, fluid mechanics, theoretical immunology, etc.
Giorgio Parisi has written about 350 scientific publications on reviews and about 50 contributions to congresses or schools. His main activity has been in the field of elementary particles, theory of phase transitions and statistical mechanics , mathematical physics and string theory, disordered systems (spin glasses and complex systems), neural networks theoretical immunology, computers and very large scale simulations of QCD (the APE project), non equilibrium statistical physics.
