Applied physics and complex systems

Interdisciplinary application of physics modelling and analysis methods (computational and experimental) to biology, medicine, environment, complex systems and cultural heritage

The research activity is focused in areas characterized by a strong interdisciplinarity: Biology and Medicine, Environmental Science, Cultural Heritage, Accelerator Physics and Complex Systems. The main experimental techniques range from electrophysiology to microscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and X-ray. Various mathematical models (deterministic, stochastic, network theory) are used to characterize biomedical, environmental, social and financial phenomena.

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

The research is performed in cooperation with private companies (research & development, consulting), research centers and international universities (Brown University, Cambridge University, CNRS Marseille, ETH Zurich), National Institutes (CNR, INBB, INFN, SISSA).
