Professor Biagio Lucini

Specialist Subjects: Particle Physics, Lattice Gauge Theories, Critical Phenomena, Statistical Mechanics

I am using Lattice Gauge Theory to explore non-perturbative phenomena in Field Theories (mostly in QCD or QCD-like theories). In particular, I am interested in understanding the mechanism of colour confinement and the behaviour of QCD for large number of colours.
