Marcello Porta

Marcello Porta is a Full Professor in the Mathematics Area at Scuola Internazionale Superiore di Studi Avanzati (SISSA) since 2021, having previously served as an Associate Professor at SISSA (2020-2021), W3 Professor at the University of Tübingen (2017-2020), and Assistant Professor at the University of Zürich (2016-2017).

Education:

• Ph.D. in Physics, University of Rome Sapienza (February 2011)
• Master Degree in Physics, University of Rome Sapienza (September 2007)

His research focuses on the rigorous mathematical analysis of condensed matter physics and many-body quantum systems, particularly the emergence of universal behavior and collective phenomena. Key areas include quantum Hall effect, topological materials, and mean-field evolution of fermionic systems.

The 15 most recent articles highlight his work on quantum transport, correlation energy in Fermi gases, renormalization in disordered systems, and effective models for bosonization. Disciplines span condensed matter physics, quantum field theory, and mathematical physics, with subfields like topological insulators, many-body interactions, and nonlinear response theory.

Scientific Awards and Grants:

• ERC Starting Grant (2019-2024) for project MaMBoQ
• Swiss National Science Foundation grant (2016-2019)

Advising and Collaborative Efforts: As PhD Coordinator for Geometry and Mathematical Physics at SISSA, he contributes to academic leadership. He is an Associate Editor for the Journal of Mathematical Physics (2019-) and a member of the executive committee of the International Association of Mathematical Physics (IAMP) (2021-).
