TRIESTE On the occasion of the centenary, the University of Trieste is organizing a dialogue – event between the Nobel Prize winner for Physics on Tuesday 21 May at 5.30 pm Giorgio Parisi and the rector Robert of Lenarda on the theme “Realizing the future of knowledge: the contribution of the University, between students and teachers”.
Moderated by the journalist Eva Ciukthe two exceptional speakers will discuss the importance of the teacher/student dynamic and their experience in this regard (in both “roles”).
Giorgio Parisi, born in 1948, student of Nicola Cabibbo is a theoretical physicist, currently professor emeritus at the University of Rome. From 2018 to 2021 he was president of the Accademia dei Lincei. He is a member of various Academies including the American Philosophical Society. In 2021 he received the Nobel Prize in Physics. “for the discovery of the interplay of disorder and fluctuations in physical systems from atomic to planetary scales.”
He carried out his research activity at the National Laboratories of Frascati, first as a fellow of the National Research Council (1971-1973) and subsequently as a researcher at the National Institute of Nuclear Physics (1973-1981). In this period he carried out long stays abroad: Columbia University, New York (1973-1974), Institut des Hautes Etudes Scientifiques, Bures-sur-Yvettes (1976-1977), Ecole Normale Superieure, Paris (1977-1978) .
Called as full professor at the University of Rome in February 1981, from 1981 to 1992 he was professor of Institutions of Theoretical Physics at the University of Rome Tor Vergata. Since 1992 he has been professor of Theoretical Physics at the University of Rome La Sapienza. Parisi has made many contributions in different areas of theoretical physics, addressing different topics such as particle physics, statistical mechanics, fluid dynamics, condensed matter physics, and the construction of scientific computers. He has also published some works on neural networks, the immune system and the flight of starlings.
The event is organized by the Department of Physics. Free admission.
