Guido Martinelli

Guido Martinelli

Born in Naples on 20 August 1952

Full Professor of Elementary Particle Physics

Graduated in Physics with Nicola Cabibbo and Giorgio Parisi, from 1977 to 1987 he was researcher at the Laboratori Nazionali di Frascati of the Italian National Institute of Nuclear Physics (INFN). In 1988 he took up the position of associate professor of Theoretical Physics at Sapienza University of Rome and in 1990 became full professor. From 2001 to 2007 he was director of the Department of Physics and from 2007 to 2010 he was President of the Faculty of Science and Technology at Sapienza. Since November 2010 he has been Director of the International School for Advanced Studies (SISSA) of Trieste.

He served as president of INFN’s CSN4 until 21 September 2011. He is also a member of the Scientific Committee of the Galileo Galilei Institute for Theoretical Physics.

The main interests of his research are: elementary particle physics and phenomenology, in particular strong interactions, weak interactions, matter-antimatter asymmetry, physics of the Standard Model and its extensions (Supersymmetry and Extra Dimensions), field theories, in particular non-perturbative methods, chiral Lagrangians and lattice theories, statistical mechanics.
