The Parma group
The lattice group of Parma is active on several research topics and has been a pioneer of Numerical Stochastic Perturbation Theory and Thimbles regularization. Currently there are two experienced researchers (Francesco Di Renzo and Petros Dimopoulos) and a couple of PhD students; one master student is taking a thesis soon.
In recent years Parma has been coordinating the European research network EuroPLEx. The group is part of the Department of Mathematical, Physical and Computer Sciences; other theoretical physics research in Parma includes formal field/string theory, cosmology, gravitational waves, statistical mechanics/complex systems, foundations of quantum technologies.
During the last years the Parma lattice group has a most active collaboration with the the lattice group of the Bielefeld University (Dr. Christian Schmidt and several collaborators) on various aspects of the study of the QCD phase diagram.
List of research topics of the Parma group
- QCD phase diagram
- Numerical Stochastic Perturbation Theory
- Thimbles regularization
- Machine Learning
Application of Theoretical Physics Methods to the problem of the RNA folding.
