Summary
Francesco Turci is a computational physicist and Lecturer in Scientific Computing at the University of Bristol with 11 years of research and teaching experience focused on out-of-equilibrium thermodynamics, structural and dynamical properties of disordered media, and learning algorithms for 3D vision. He progressed from PhD work on large deviations and transport models to postdoctoral and research fellow roles studying crystallization and complex materials, combining deep theoretical insight with computational methods. At Bristol he has bridged physics education and scientific computing, translating advanced theory into teachable, reproducible code and curricula. His work uniquely blends statistical physics and machine learning applied to real-world disordered systems, often leveraging advanced simulation and inference techniques. Based in Bristol, he brings a track record of sustained academic productivity and interdisciplinary collaboration across physics, computation, and vision.
