معرفی
Fabio Zwirner is a Professor of Theoretical Physics at the University of Padua and holds the position of Vice-Rector for Research at the same institution. He has held academic roles at the University of Rome La Sapienza (2000–2005) and has been a Scientific Associate at CERN multiple times. His research focuses on fundamental interactions, supersymmetry, supergravity, and string theory. He holds prestigious roles such as Member of the ERC Scientific Council and former Vice-President, as well as Chairman of the ICTP Steering Committee.
Education:
- Ph.D. in Physics, International School for Advanced Studies (SISSA-ISAS), Trieste (1987)
- Master in Physics, SISSA-ISAS (1983)
- Laurea in Fisica, University of Padua (1981, summa cum laude)
Research Interests:
Zwirner’s work explores superstring compactifications, Higgs boson physics, and extensions of the Standard Model. He investigates quantum aspects of supergravity theories and their implications for particle phenomenology and cosmology. His contributions include studies on no-scale supergravity models, dark matter mediators, and inflationary scenarios.
Awards and Roles:
- ICTP 2024 Spirit of Salam Award
- Member of the CERN Scientific Policy Committee (2007–2013)
- Editor of Journal of High Energy Physics (JHEP) since 2003
Grants and Leadership:
He led the Padua team in the ERC Advanced Grant DaMESyFla (2011–2016) and coordinated INFN teams in European research networks like “The Quest for Unification” (2004–2008). He also serves on editorial and advisory boards for key journals and institutions.
Labs and Collaborations:
Active in CERN’s Theory Division and INFN groups, he collaborates internationally on projects involving LHC physics, dark matter, and quantum gravity.
