- Alessio Guarino
Alessio Guarino is an Italian physicist, born in
Florence, Italy in 1970.Overview
Guarino works in the domain of
nonlinear physics , such asliquid crystals ,fracture ,convection andgranular matter . Sergio Ciliberto, Riccardo Scorretti and Guarino introduced a numerical technique studying the effect of thermal fluctuations inheterogeneous systems. He is currently employed with theUniversity of French Polynesia inTahiti . He was previously at theUniversity of California, Santa Barbara and the École Normale Supérieure de Lyon.Current Research
Guarino,
Duccio Fanelli of the University of Florence and Timoteo Carletti from Notre Dame de la Paix university in Namur,Belgium , are working on a new non-invasive technique to diagnoseneurodegenerative diseases in the early stages, such asParkinson 's disease andamyotrophic lateral sclerosis ; and on the socio-physics of the diseases.References
