Home Page of Irene Giardina

I am a theoretical physicist, with a background in Statistical Physisc. I have been working for years on Disordered Systems and Glassy behaviour in Condensed Matter, and recently moved to Biology.
I work at the Sapienza unit of the Institute for Complex Systems (ISC-Sapienza) of the National Research Council CNR.
The ISC-Sapienza unit is based in Rome, at the Department of Physics of Sapienza University, and at the nearby offices of ISC headquarters.
I am also associated to the The Complex System Group at the Department of Physics.
