Stefano has been a Lecturer in the Biological Physics and Soft Matter Group at King’s College London, UK, since January 2023, where he leads his research group. His research focuses on the interplay between thermodynamics and information theory to study biological systems at small scales where fluctuations are prominent. He is currently working on the physics of biomolecular condensates and developing artificial intelligence tools to complement his theoretical investigations.
Before his appointment at King’s College London Stefano was a Distinguished Postdoctoral Fellow at the Max Planck Institute for the Physics of Complex Systems (MPI-PKS) in Dresden, and a Nordita Fellow at The Nordic Institute for Theoretical Physics (NORDITA) in Stockholm.
Stefano received a PhD in Complex Systems for Life Sciences from the University of Turin in 2015, with a thesis on Thermodynamics and Information at the Microscale under the supervision of Antonio Celani.
