Silvano Tosi

Silvano Tosi serves as Associate Professor of Experimental Physics of Fundamental Interactions and Applications (PHYS-01/A) in the Department of Physics at the University of Genoa, Italy. His research bridges high-energy particle physics, cosmology, and multi-messenger astrophysics through major international collaborations.

His primary research domains include:

• Particle Physics: Leading roles in the CMS experiment at LHC, focusing on exclusive central production processes, precision proton spectrometry, and searches for new physics
• Cosmology & Astrophysics: Key contributions to the Euclid space mission for galaxy spectra analysis, neutrino cosmology studies, and gravitational lensing effects on active galactic nuclei
• Instrumentation: Development of silicon pixel detectors and ultra-high time-resolution sensors for the CMS Precision Proton Spectrometer
• Observational Astronomy: Optical telescope research at Antola Observatory covering exoplanet measurements, reverberation mapping of supermassive black holes, and ultra-high-energy particle sources

Professor Tosi teaches core physics curriculum including General Physics 1, Introduction to Astrophysics and Cosmology, and Multi-frequency Astrophysics at undergraduate and master's levels. His thesis proposals reflect cutting-edge work in CTA telescope data analysis, Euclid mission simulations, relativistic jet studies, and silicon sensor innovation.
