Alessio Zaccone (PhD ETH Zurich 2010) is a Full Professor of Theoretical Condensed Matter Physics at University of Milan. He has published over 140 peer-reviewed papers in different areas of physics, from statistical physics to soft matter and disordered systems, solid state and quantum physics (superconductivity), hydrodynamics, colloids and complex fluids, including 14 articles in Physical Review Letters, and 5 articles in PNAS. He developed several theories and mathematical models of the physical properties of amorphous solids, including structure & dynamics, atomic theories of elasticity and viscoelasticity, the vibrational spectrum and thermal and electrical/dielectric properties. Several of the developed models have been successfully tested by independent experimental groups on a variety of materials, such as polymer glasses, metallic glasses, jammed granular packings and colloidal nano-materials. He held faculty positions at Technical University Munich, University of Cambridge and University of Milan. He received numerous awards including the 2020 Gauss Professorship of the G�ttingen Academy of Sciences, the election to a Fellowship of Queens' College Cambridge, and he has been listed among the Emerging Leaders 2020 in Physics by the Journal of Physics (IoP) and among the Class of 2017 Influential Researchers by the journal Industrial and Engineering Chemistry Research published by the American Chemical Society. In 2022 he received an ERC Consolidator grant from the European Union for fundamental research on amorphous materials. See less
