Alfredo Iorio

Prof. Alfredo Iorio is an Associate Professor at the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics of Charles University of Prague. His research spans theoretical and mathematical physics, focusing on quantum field theory (QFT), supersymmetry (SUSY), non-commutative field theories, and Chern-Simons gravity, with applications to particle physics, condensed matter physics, and biological systems.

Research Interests:

• Vacuum structure of QFT
• Topological objects in QFT and solid-state physics
• Quantum effects in DNA physics
• Virus structure and physics of living matter

Teaching: He teaches the course Beyond Lorentz Invariance (NJSF129), which will evolve into Advanced Concepts of Symmetry, emphasizing topological structures in QFT and condensed matter physics.

Educational Background:

• Born in 1968 in Irpinia, Italy
• Undergraduate in Physics at University of Salerno, Italy
• PhD in Theoretical Physics from Trinity College Dublin
• Worked at MIT's Center for Theoretical Physics (1999-2005)
• Joined Charles University in 2006
