IRENE ROSANA GIARDINA

Irene Giardina si e’ laureata in Fisica all’Universita’ degli Studi di Pavia nel 1994, e ha ricevuto il PhD in Fisica Teorica presso l’Universita’ di Roma La Sapienza nel 1998. Tra il 1999 e il 2001 ha lavorato come postdoctoral fellow al Department of Theoretical Physics dell’Universita’ di Oxford e al Laboratorio di Fisica Teorica del Centre Energie Atomique di Saclay-Parigi. Nel 2001 e’ diventata ricercatrice presso l’Istituto per i Sistemi Complessi del CNR, sede Sapienza, dove ha messo su un laboratorio dedicato ad applicare metodologie della fisica statistica allo studio teorico e sperimentale di comportamenti collettivi in sistemi biologici e gruppi animali. Dal 2013 e’ stata prima Professore Associato e poi Ordinario presso il Dipartimento di Fisica, Universita’ di Roma La Sapienza. Nel 2013-14 e’ stata Visiting Professor all’Initiative for the Theoretical Sciences, CUNY, New York. E' stata Principal Investigator di numerose grant nazionali e internazionali, tra cui un ERC consolidator e un ERC PoC. Nel 2021 ha ricevuto il Delbruck Prize in Biological Physics dell'American Physical Society.

Irene Giardina received a Master degree in Physics from University of Pavia in 1994, and a Ph.D. degree in theoretical physics from the University of Rome La Sapienza in 1998. From 1999 to 2001 she worked as post-doctoral fellow at the University of Oxford and at the Laboratoire de Physique Theorique, CEA Saclay, where she studied a variety of problems in disordered and complex systems. In 2001 she was appointed research scientist at the Institute for Complex Systems, of the National Research Council, in the department of Physics Sapienza in Rome. Here, she set up a
new lab dedicated to apply methods from statistical physics to study collective behaviour in animal groups (flocking, swarming) and biological systems. From 2013 she has been Associate Professor and then Full Professor at the Department of Physics, University of Rome La Sapienza. In 2013-2014 she was Visiting Professor at the Initiative for the Theoretical Sciences, Graduate Center –Cuny, New York. She is the recipient of numerous national and international grants, including a consolidator ERC grant and an ERC PoC. In 2021 she was awarded the Delbruck Prize in Biological Physics of the American Physical Society.
