Paolo di Vecchia

Nordita Professor Emeritus

High Energy Physics

About

I received my Italian degree (Laurea) in February 1966 in Rome and I have been working at Nordita from May 1974 to November 1978, as an assistant professor, and from 1986 until now as a Professor. My field of research has been particle physics. In the last 7 years I have been working on gravitational waves by applying scattering amplitude techniques to compute observables in general relativity in the Post-Minkowskian approximation.

In the past I have been working on various aspects of string theory and on non-perturbative aspects of QCD as the resolution of the U(1) problem and the CP problem. I participated and organised various summer and winter schools at Nordita and initiated in 1993 Nordic meetings on recent developments in string theory with the participation of Nordic students and researchers. My great interest has always been to promote Nordic and international collaboration.
