About
Prof. Vittorio Romano (b. 1966) is a Full Professor of Mathematical Physics at the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science, University of Catania, Italy. He obtained his Laurea Magna cum Laude (1989) and PhD in Mathematics (1994) from Catania. His research focuses on charge/phonon transport modeling in semiconductors and graphene, non-equilibrium thermodynamics, and numerical methods for hyperbolic systems.
Research areas include relativistic fluid dynamics, nonlinear wave propagation, stability of shock waves, and applications in cosmology. He has led major EU projects like COMSON (FP6) and AMBEATION (MSCA-RISE), and developed MEP-based hydrodynamic models for nanoscale devices.
