third mission

The CREF was born with a dual soul: a research centre and a historical museum. Its aim is to preserve and disseminate the memory of Enrico Fermi and to promote the dissemination and communication of scientific culture.

Francesco Sylos Labini

I became a permanent researcher at the Enrico Fermi Research Center in 2010 and Research Director in 2020. I was at the University of Geneva and the University of Paris XI for about 10 years, where I developed the core of my research activity, which included topics on the interface between complex systems, astrophysics, and gravitational dynamics. Furthermore, I have worked on the kinematics and dynamics of the Milky Way and external galaxies, developing a new mass model with interesting implications for the distribution of dark matter. I have published over 100 articles in peer-reviewed scientific journals and around 40 international conferences and workshops proceedings. Furthermore, I am co-author of the technical monograph “Statistical Physics for Cosmic Structures” published by Springer Verlag (2005) and of the book “Dynamics and Thermodynamics of Systems with Long-Range Interactions” published by the American Institute of Physics (2008). In addition to strictly physics problems, I am interested in research policy and the epistemology of science, topics on which I have written several essays published in Italy and abroad.
