Luca Martinoia

Hi, my name is Luca. I earned my Ph.D. from the University of Genova, and now I am a Postdoctoral researcher in Theoretical Physics at the University of Padova, Department of Physics "Galileo Galilei", in the Collaborative Laboratory of Interdisciplinary Physics (LIPh Lab). I am also associate researcher at INFN under the Statistical Field Theory program.

My research interests lie at the intersection between high-energy physics, statistical physics, and condensed matter. During my Ph.D. I worked on hydrodynamics as an effective field theory, with a focus on applications to the phenomenology of strongly-coupled condensed matter systems, to the fluid/gravity duality in Holography, and more recently to soft and active matter. In September 2024 I moved to Padova, where I have started studying theoretical neuroscience and complex systems.
