Mathematical Physics of Complex Systems

The research activity is focused on areas characterized by strong interdisciplinarity: biology and medicine, environmental sciences, cultural heritage, accelerator physics, and the mathematical physics of complex systems.

The main experimental techniques range from electrophysiology to microscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and X-rays. Various mathematical methods and models (e.g., deterministic and stochastic dynamical systems, network theory, entropy theory, etc.) are used to characterize biomedical, environmental, social, and financial phenomena, in addition to being subjects of theoretical research.

The groups are involved in numerous research projects at both the national level (PRIN, private funding) and the European level (H2020, ERA-NET), addressing issues of significant social impact (cancer and aging genomics, environmental impact of climate change and human activity, archaeometry, X-ray dosimetry, and the development of new detectors, algorithms for automated diagnosis).

Research is carried out in collaboration with private companies (research and development, consulting), research centers, and international universities.
