Giulia Zanderighi
Giulia Zanderighi (* 1974 in Milan ) is an Italian physicist. She has been Director at the Max Planck Institute for Physics since 2019 .
Life
Zanderighi studied physics at the University of Milan and received his doctorate from the Università degli Studi in Pavia. She did research at the Institute for Particle Physics Phenomenology at Durham University and at Fermilab in Batavia. In 2005 she became a Fellow at CERN .
In 2007 she moved to Oxford University , initially as an Assistant Professor and Tutorial Fellow at Wadham College . In 2010 she became a professor of physics there. In 2014 she took a five-year leave of absence from Oxford University to take a position as a staff member in the theoretical physics department at CERN. In 2019 she took up her position as director at the Max Planck Institute for Physics. There she heads the department “Innovative Computation Methods in Particle Physics”.
Zanderighi's main research area is accelerator phenomenology . This theoretical discipline examines elementary particles and their fundamental interactions. She deals with theoretical predictions for particle collisions in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. Zanderighi has made a name for himself with high-precision calculations. These provide information about the results to be expected from the collisions, for example during the production or during the decay of the Higgs boson .
