Giulia Zanderighi

Giulia Zanderighi is a Professor of Physics at the Technical University of Munich (since 2021) and Director at the Max Planck Institute for Physics (since 2019). She specializes in collider phenomenology, focusing on precision calculations in quantum field theory to interpret data from particle accelerators like the LHC. Her research explores beyond the Standard Model physics, dark matter, and fundamental particle interactions.

Education:

• PhD from the University of Pavia (Italy)
• MSc in Physics from the University of Milan

Research Interests: She investigates theoretical models to predict particle behavior at colliders, emphasizing high-precision calculations for Higgs boson, Z-boson, and jet physics. Her work bridges theoretical predictions and experimental observations, aiming to uncover new physics phenomena.

Awards:

• ERC Consolidator Grant (2013)
• Friedrich Wilhelm Bessel Research Prize (2012)

Leadership & Committees: She chairs the International Max Planck Research School for Elementary Particle Physics and serves on editorial boards of journals like European Physical Journal C and Physics Reports. She advises on initiatives like the LEGEND experiment (neutrino studies) and the BabyIAXO experiment (axion detection).

Labs/Experiments: Involved in ATLAS (LHC), Belle II (antimatter), and CRESST (dark matter) collaborations, advancing detection technologies and data analysis methods.
