Dr. Prof. Antonino Marciano’ is currently tenured full professor at the Department of Physics of Fudan University and member of the Italian Institute of Nuclear Physics (INFN). He joined the faculty of the department of physics at Fudan University in 2014, to work on the gravitational waves probes for the dark universe. Previously, he was post-doctoral researcher in the USA, working at Princeton University and Dartmouth College on models for cosmological inflation and the physics of cosmic microwave background radiation, and at Aix-Marseille University on the Wilson-loop approach to quantum gravity. The interest for quantum gravity, in particular for the non-commutative geometry approach and the quantum group deformation of space-time symmetries, started during his Ph.D. at Sapienza University of Rome. His research revolves on topological and out-of-equilibrium quantum field theories, including particle physics, cosmology and astrophysics, and analogue gravity applications to artificial intelligence, quantum computing and topological materials. He published so far more than 120 articles in international scientific journals with the high impact factors.
