Sections

Professors at the Department of Physics are grouped in Scientific Teams or Disciplinary Areas, depending on their main research interests: 

• Experimental Physics of Fundamental Interactions  
• Physics of Matter 
• Theoretical Physics and History of Physics 
• Astronomy and Astrophysics 
• Applied Physics 

Each Disciplinary Area has its own spokesperson, attending meetings for the yearly didactic programming: 

• Spokesperson for the ‘Experimental Physics of Fundamental Interactions‘ Disciplinary Area: Prof. Marco Sozzi (until Feb 2027)
• Spokesperson for the ‘Physics of Matter‘ Disciplinary Area: Prof. Riccardo Mannella (until Nov 2025) 
• Spokesperson for the ‘Theoretical Physics and History of Physics‘ Disciplinary Area: Prof. Davide Rossini (until Nov 2024) 
• Spokesperson for the ‘Astronomy and Astrophysics‘ Disciplinary Area: Prof. Pier Giorgio Prada Moroni (until Feb 2027)
• Spokesperson for the ‘Applied Physics‘ Disciplinary Area: Prof. Maria Giuseppina Bisogni (until Feb 2027)
