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.

Lorenzo Grimaldi

I graduated in Theoretical Physics at La Sapienza University of Rome. My thesis was developed under the supervision of Prof. Fabio Riccioni and dealt with aspects of the AdS/CFT correspondence, focusing on the global symmetries of unoriented, superconformal field theories.

In November 2023, I started a PhD position at Tor Vergata University of Rome, jointly with the Centro Ricerche Enrico Fermi. My research at CREF involves studying and developing the Laplacian Renormalization Group and its application to networks.

My academic interests range from Statistical Physics to Quantum Field Theory and String Theory, with special attention to the possible connections of these areas.
