Stefano Vignolo

Stefano Vignolo serves as a Full Professor of Mathematical Physics (SSD MATH-04/A) within the Department of Mechanical, Energy, Management and Transport Engineering (DIME) at the University of Genoa's Polytechnic School. His institutional roles include:

• Member of the Polytechnic School Council
• Member of the DIME Department Board

He teaches Mathematical Physics for the Master's Degree in Yacht Design and Rational Mechanics for the Nautical Engineering program, with office hours held Thursdays 2:30-4:30 pm at Via all'Opera Pia 15.

His research integrates advanced geometric frameworks with theoretical physics, specializing in differential geometry applications to gravitational systems and quantum fields. Core focus areas include Lie derivatives of affine connections, polar decompositions of Dirac fields, integrability conditions in curved spacetimes, and modified gravity formulations like f(Q)-gravity. This work demonstrates consistent methodological rigor in applying geometric structures to solve fundamental physics problems.

Analysis of his 2023-2025 publications reveals a cohesive research trajectory centered on geometric unification principles. Key contributions address affine connection derivatives, Dirac field symmetries, and junction conditions in alternative gravity models, primarily through collaborations with Luca Fabbri and Roberto Cianci. These publications collectively advance mathematical techniques for analyzing field theories in non-trivial spacetime geometries.
