Alessandro Codello

Alessandro Codello is a Researcher in Theoretical Physics at Ca’ Foscari University of Venice, based in the Department of Molecular Sciences and Nanosystems on the Scientific Campus. He is actively engaged in both research and teaching, delivering courses such as Physics of Complex Systems and Mathematical Methods for Physics and Engineering to master’s and undergraduate students.

Research Interests

His work centres on the renormalization group approach to quantum and statistical field theories, with particular emphasis on quantum gravity, conformal field theory, critical phenomena, and mathematical methods. He explores the non-perturbative structure of field theories through functional renormalization group techniques, investigates universality classes in diverse dimensions, and studies effective field theory constructions for gravitational interactions.

Publication Profile

From 2006 to 2023, Codello has authored or co-authored over forty peer-reviewed articles and one scientific monograph. The research spans high-energy physics, statistical mechanics and mathematical physics, with recurring themes of fixed-point structure, universality, conformal symmetry, and gravitational effective actions. Recent works address multicritical phenomena, long-range interacting systems, and the covariant formulation of effective quantum gravity.

Teaching & Academic Service

He teaches core and advanced physics courses in the master’s degree in Physics of Complex Systems and the bachelor’s degree in Physical Engineering. His teaching responsibilities include Engineering Physics, Mathematical Methods for Physics and Engineering, and Quantum Mechanics modules.
