Anna Fino is a Full Professor at the Department of Mathematics, University of Turin. Her research focuses on differential and complex geometry, particularly geometric structures on manifolds such as nilmanifolds, solvmanifolds, G₂-structures, and Hermitian manifolds. She has contributed to studies on special metrics (balanced, SKT, Calabi-Yau), holonomy groups, cohomology theories, and geometric flows like the Laplacian flow for G₂-structures. Her work often intersects with algebraic topology and geometric analysis, addressing topics such as tamed symplectic structures, Ricci solitons, and invariant geometric properties on homogeneous spaces. Recent activities include organizing conferences on differential geometry and participating in international collaborations. Key research themes include: Geometric structures on nilpotent and solvable Lie groups Special holonomy and calibrated geometries Hermitian and almost complex manifolds Cohomological aspects of complex and symplectic manifolds Her publications frequently explore interplays between differential geometry and algebraic structures, with applications to geometric flows and classification problems.

Roberto Valandro is an Associate Professor at the Department of Physics, University of Trieste, where he serves as a member of the Department's Board, President of the Joint Board of Studies, and Vice-Coordinator of the Doctoral Studies Boards for multiple physics doctoral programs (cycles XXXIV-XXXIX). He leads the String Compactifications research group within the Fields and Strings research strand of the Theoretical Physics division. Professor Valandro's research focuses on three main pillars: Strings on Singular Manifolds and Quantum Field Theories , where he uses geometric engineering to translate M-theory geometries into five-dimensional effective field theories; T-Branes , investigating bound states of D6-branes and their M-theory interpretation; and String Phenomenology , exploring connections between string theory and observable physics through both top-down and bottom-up approaches. Analysis of his recent publications reveals a strong concentration on 5-dimensional physics emerging from string compactifications, Calabi-Yau geometry, and the relationship between geometric structures and quantum field theories. His work frequently involves international collaborations, particularly with researchers from SISSA and other leading institutions in theoretical physics. As a dedicated mentor, Professor Valandro supervises PhD students including Chiara Crinò, Andrea Sangiovanni, and Davide Bason. His leadership extends to significant institutional roles, including serving as President of the Joint Board of Studies and Vice-Coordinator of multiple doctoral programs, demonstrating his commitment to academic governance and the development of future physicists. At the forefront of theoretical physics research, Professor Valandro continues to advance our understanding of string compactification and its implications for fundamental physics, contributing to Trieste's reputation as a global hub for theoretical physics research.

Roberto Valandro is an Associate Professor in the Department of Physics at the University of Trieste, where he serves on the Department's Board, acts as President of the Joint Board of Studies, and is Vice-Coordinator of the Doctoral Studies Boards for Physics cycles XXXIV through XXXIX. His academic work focuses on theoretical physics, particularly string theory and its applications to fundamental physics. Dr. Valandro leads the 'String Compactifications' research group within the 'Fields and Strings' research strand of Theoretical Physics. His research explores geometric aspects of string theory compactifications, with particular emphasis on singular manifolds, T-branes, and string phenomenology. He investigates how string theory on singular spaces yields important physical phenomena such as non-abelian gauge groups and chiral particles through the geometric engineering paradigm. Valandro's publication record demonstrates expertise across multiple subfields of theoretical physics, with recent work centered on 5-dimensional quantum field theories derived from M-theory, Calabi-Yau orientifolds, and de Sitter string vacua. His research connects abstract mathematical structures in string theory to potentially observable physical phenomena, bridging the gap between theoretical frameworks and experimental physics. As an academic advisor, Valandro mentors PhD students Chiara Crinò, Andrea Sangiovanni, and Davide Bason. He plays an active role in graduate education as Vice-Coordinator for multiple cycles of the Doctoral Program in Physics at the University of Trieste, contributing significantly to the development of the next generation of theoretical physicists. Valandro collaborates extensively with both local researchers including Lorenzo Di Pietro and international colleagues. His work represents an important contribution to the Department of Physics at the University of Trieste, which has a long tradition in theoretical physics dating back to notable figures like Paolo Budinich and Luciano Fonda, and which has contributed to the establishment of prestigious institutions in Trieste including the Abdus Salam International Center of Theoretical Physics (ICTP) and the International School for Advanced Studies (SISSA).
