Gabriele Travaglini

Prof. Gabriele Travaglini is a Professor of Theoretical Physics at Queen Mary University of London, affiliated with the School of Physical and Chemical Sciences and the Centre for Fundamental Physics. His research focuses on scattering amplitudes in quantum field theory and gravity, with applications to gravitational wave studies and string theory. He coordinates major initiatives like the SAGEX network (2018–2022), training early-stage researchers in scattering amplitudes.

Research interests include hidden symmetries in quantum field theories, N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills, and supergravity. Recent work applies amplitude techniques to classical gravitational phenomena, such as black hole mergers. Key achievements include leadership in SAGEX, a Marie Skłodowska-Curie network, and awards like the Leverhulme Research Fellowship and Friedrich Wilhelm Bessel Award.
