Guido Caldarelli

Guido Caldarelli (born in Rome on April 8, 1967) is an Italian physicist (statistical physics) and at INFM-CNR. He is married with two children and lives in Rome.

Biography

Caldarelli received his Ph.D. from SISSA, after which he was a postdoc in the Department of Physics and School of Biology, University of Manchester . He then worked at the Theory of Condensed Matter Group, University of Cambridge, where he worked with Robin Ball and stayed in Wolfson College. He returned to Italy as a lecturer and now holds his current position above. In this period he was also the coordinator of the Networks subproject, part of the Complexity Project, for the [http://www.centrofermi.it/ Fermi Centre] . He also spent some terms at [http://www.unifr.ch/phystheo/ University of Fribourg] (Switzerland) and in 2006 he has been visiting professor at Ecole Normale Superieure in Paris.

Research

The activity of Caldarelli is mainly focused on scale-free networks, complex networks and systems biology.He has been coordinator of the European project [http://www.cosinproject.org COSIN] , one of the first international activities based on the study of complex networks.

He has published numerous papers in physics and interdisciplinary journals, including Physical Review Letters and Nature.

His work on beauty and the stable marriage problem was widely reported in the press.
