Becca Federico

Becca Federico is an Associate Professor at the Department of Physics, University of Trieste, holding significant leadership positions including Deputy Head of Department, Deputy Head of Head's Office, Deputy Head of Executive Board, and Deputy Head of Management Committee. He serves as a member of the Department's Board, Boards of Studies for Physics programs (SM20 and SM23), and multiple Doctoral Studies Boards (PHD04 cycles XXXV through XXXIX).

Dr. Federico's research focuses on Theoretical Physics of Matter, Models, Mathematical Methods and Applications, with particular expertise in strongly-correlated models on the lattice within Condensed Matter Physics. His work spans quantum many-body systems, topological phases of matter, and frustrated magnetic systems, employing advanced computational techniques to understand complex quantum phenomena.

Analysis of his recent publications reveals a strong emphasis on cutting-edge approaches to quantum systems, particularly the integration of machine learning techniques (neural networks, transformers) with traditional quantum many-body methods. His work explores the intersection of topological phases, quantum spin liquids, and strongly correlated electron systems, with significant contributions to understanding Hubbard models, frustrated magnets, and topological insulators.

As a member of research groups focused on strongly-correlated models on the lattice, Dr. Federico contributes to advancing computational methods for quantum systems while maintaining strong connections with the broader physics community through his leadership roles and participation in doctoral education.
