Vittorio Erba

Vittorio Erba is a Lecturer at the Department of Physics within the School of Basic Sciences at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), with concurrent Scientist appointments across three laboratories: Statistical Physics of Computation Laboratory (SPOC1/SPOC2) and Information, Learning & Physics Laboratory (IDEPHICS2).

His research integrates statistical physics methodologies with computational challenges, focusing on disordered systems applied to:

• Machine learning optimization
• Graph theory analysis
• Statistical inference frameworks
• Discrete computational problem-solving

He teaches the graduate course 'Statistical physics of computation', training students in applying physics-derived tools to computational and statistical problems. Laboratory affiliations span both the School of Basic Sciences (IPHYS institute) and School of Computer and Communication Sciences (IINFCOM institute), reflecting interdisciplinary work at the physics-computation interface. Contact details remain active with office BSP 514 at Cubotron UNIL, Lausanne.
