معرفی
Claudio CORIANO is an Associate Professor of Theoretical Physics at the University of Salento, qualified as Full Professor in ASN 2012 and ASN 2019. He works in the Department of Mathematics and Physics "Ennio De Giorgi" at the Former Fiorini College in Lecce, Italy. His scientific-disciplinary sector is FIS/02 - Theoretical Physics of Fundamental Interactions.
His research spans multiple areas of theoretical physics including Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), Physics Beyond the Standard Model, Theoretical Cosmology, Conformal Field Theory, Gravitational Interactions, and Applications of field theory to topological materials. His current research focuses on topological matter using anomalous effective action formalism to analyze quantum phase transitions, and phase transitions in the early universe to identify gravitational wave spectra generated in remote cosmological epochs.
His recent publications (2023-2025) demonstrate expertise across several interconnected fields: quantum anomalies in topological matter, gravitational interactions in momentum space, conformal field theory applications, and beyond Standard Model physics. The research shows a strong emphasis on mathematical formalism applied to physical phenomena, particularly in the areas of chiral anomalies, gravitational form factors, and conformal symmetry in particle physics and cosmology.
- Leverhulme Visiting Professor at University of Southampton (2015-2016)
- Fulbright Fellow, New York
- INFN 'Sergio Fubini' National Prize (for student Matteo M. Maglio's thesis, 2022)
Professor CORIANO has directed 15 doctoral theses, with 3 students now in academic careers including Prof. Marco Guzzi (KSU, Georgia, associate professor since 2022), Prof. Luigi Delle Rose (University of Calabria), and Dr. Carlo Marzo (Tallinn, Estonia). He currently supervises doctoral students Mario Creti', Stefano Lionetti, Dario Melle, Riccardo Tommasi, and Leonardo Torcellini. He serves as Coordinator of the PhD in Physics and Nanosciences at the University of Salento (2020-) and Coordinator of the Lecce node of the INFN QGSKY initiative.
His research group collaborates internationally with institutions including CNRS Tours, INFN sections across Italy, and various universities worldwide. The group maintains active participation in major international conferences including QCD@Work (of which he is an organizing committee member for 10 editions) and the Marcel Grossmann Meeting.
