Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolStefano Zapperi is a theoretical condensed matter physicist and interdisciplinary coordinator with over a decade of leadership in academia and research management, currently professor at the University of Milano and coordinator of the Center for Complexity and Biosystems. He blends deep expertise in non-equilibrium statistical mechanics with practical impact, having led multi-million-euro ERC and EU projects on fracture and plasticity and co-founded Complexdata S.R.L. His work spans fracture, plasticity, magnetism and biophysics, including influential theories of the Barkhausen effect and dislocation dynamics, and recent forays into the physics of cancer reflected in a co-authored book. A decorated researcher (Humboldt Award, Marie Curie Excellence, ERC Advanced Grant) and APS Fellow, he also shapes the field through editorial roles and by organizing international schools and conferences. Less obvious is his consistent role bridging fundamental theory and applied technology—translating statistical-physics insights into interdisciplinary collaborations, startups and policy-shaping research initiatives.
