Giovanni Manfredi

Giovanni Manfredi is a Senior Researcher at the Ultrafast Optics and Nanophotonics group (DON) and Directeur de recherches at the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), based at the Institute of Physics and Chemistry of Materials of Strasbourg (IPCMS), University of Strasbourg. He teaches 'Electron dynamics: charges and spins' in the Master program 'Condensed Matter and Nanophysics' and contributes to the International Graduate School QMat.

Education:

• PhD in Plasma Physics, Université d'Orléans (1994)
• Habilitation, Université d'Orléans (1998)
• M.Sc. in Nuclear Engineering, Politecnico di Torino (1991)

Research Focus: Manfredi's work spans plasma physics (fusion, plasma-wall interactions), nanophotonics (ultrafast magnetism, plasmonics), quantum dynamics (phase-space methods, hydrodynamics), and fundamental physics (antimatter, cosmology). His research combines theoretical modeling with computational approaches to study charge/spin dynamics, nonequilibrium systems, and quantum phenomena.

Publication Trends: Recent works demonstrate strong focus on nonequilibrium thermodynamics, quantum-classical correspondence, computational plasma physics, and alternative cosmological models. His publications frequently employ advanced mathematical methods to address fundamental questions across physics disciplines.

Leadership: Heads the Q-Dyno research group and participates in the GBAR collaboration studying antimatter gravity. Serves on editorial boards including 4Open and organizes scientific conferences like Vlasovia.
