Alessio Guarino is an Italian physicist, born in Florence, Italy in 1970.
Overview
Guarino works in the domain of nonlinear physics, such as liquid crystals, fracture, convection and granular matter. Sergio Ciliberto, Riccardo Scorretti and Guarino introduced a numerical technique studying the effect of thermal fluctuations in heterogeneous systems. He is currently employed with the University of French Polynesia in Tahiti. He was previously at the University of California, Santa Barbara and the École Normale Supérieure de Lyon.
Current Research
Guarino, Duccio Fanelli of the University of Florence and Timoteo Carletti from Notre Dame de la Paix university in Namur, Belgium, are working on a new non-invasive technique to diagnose neurodegenerative diseases in the early stages, such as Parkinson's disease and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis; and on the socio-physics of the diseases.
