Giovanni Modanese

Giovanni Modanese is a Professor in the Department of Mathematical Physics at the Free University of Bolzano, Faculty of Engineering. He earned his PhD in theoretical physics from the University of Pisa (1992) and held postdoctoral positions at MIT, the Max-Planck Institute (Munich), and ECT* (Trento).

• Education: PhD in Theoretical Physics (University of Pisa, 1992)
• Positions: Contract Lecturer (2000), Researcher, then Professor at Free University of Bolzano

His research spans quantum and classical field theory, general relativity, and complex systems in social sciences and economics. Recent work includes Aharonov-Bohm electrodynamics, gauge waves, and diffusion models on networks.

Key trends in his publications include quantum coherence in macroscopic systems, nonlocal effects in electromagnetism and gravity, and stochastic/agent-based modeling of economic and social phenomena. He has contributed to experimental proposals for detecting anomalous electromagnetic and gravitational effects.
