Francesco Sannino (Born February 9, 1968) is an Italian theoretical physicist. He is professor at the University of Southern Denmark and honorary at the Niels Bohr Institute. He is an expert in effective field theories and their applications to strongly coupled theories such as quantum chromodynamics. He is also an expert in beyond standard model physics and quantum field theory. He got the bachelor at the University of Naples, Fedirico II in 1992 with maximum grades and soon after won the INFN fellowship for young researchers. He has two PhD degrees awarded simultaneously in physics in 1997. One PhD received with honors at the University of Syracuse and the other from the University of Naples. In 1997 he was hired at Yale as research fellow. In 2000 he moved to NORDITA (Nordic Institute for Theoretical Physics) as research fellow. In 2002 became Marie Curie Fellow while associate professor at the Niels Bohr Institute in 2004. Still in 2004 he has won the prestigious Excellence Grant awarded by the European Commission. In 2007 he has been Paid Associate at CERN while becoming full professor at the University of Southern Denmark where currently leads the Center of Excellence in High Energy Theory and he is also one of the research leaders of the Institute of Physics and Chemistry.
