Prof. Domenico Giulini is a Professor for Theoretical Physics at Leibniz University Hannover, affiliated with the Institute of Theoretical Physics and the Riemann Center for Geometry and Physics. He holds a PhD (1990) from the University of Cambridge and has held academic positions at institutions including the University of Freiburg, University of Zurich, and the Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics. His research focuses on theoretical/mathematical aspects of general relativity, including exact solutions, asymptotic symmetries, and quantum gravity applications. Education: 1981–1984: Undergraduate studies in Physics and Mathematics at University of Heidelberg 1984–1985: Part III Mathematical Tripos at University of Cambridge 1985–1990: Graduate studies and PhD at University of Cambridge 1996: Habilitation (Venia Legendi) at University of Freiburg Research Interests: Giulini's work addresses foundational questions in general relativity, such as the Hamiltonian formulation, gravitational wave dynamics, black hole thermodynamics, and the interplay between quantum mechanics and classical gravity. He also explores post-Newtonian approximations and geometric aspects of spacetime structure. Recent lectures cover advanced topics like canonical gravity, relativistic localization, and quantum cosmology. Teaching: He has taught courses on analytical mechanics, general relativity, electrodynamics, and black hole physics. Notable seminars include explorations of global black hole properties, Hamiltonian systems with symmetries, and KAM theory. Affiliations: Member of the QUEST cluster of excellence (Quantum Engineering and Space-Time Research) and collaborator with the Center of Applied Space Technology and Microgravity (ZARM). Labs/Teams: Leads the Giulini Research Group, focusing on theoretical physics and mathematical methods in relativistic field theories.
