1948 - Today

Giorgio Parisi
Giorgio Parisi (born 4 August 1948) is an Italian theoretical physicist, whose research has focused on quantum field theory, statistical mechanics and complex systems. His best known contributions are the QCD evolution equations for parton densities, obtained with Guido Altarelli, known as the Altarelli–Parisi or DGLAP equations, the exact solution of the Sherrington–Kirkpatrick model of spin glasses, the Kardar–Parisi–Zhang equation describing dynamic scaling of growing interfaces, and the study of whirling flocks of birds. He was awarded the 2021 Nobel Prize in Physics jointly with Klaus Hasselmann and Syukuro Manabe for groundbreaking contributions to theory of complex systems, in particular "for the discovery of the interplay of disorder and fluctuations in physical systems from atomic to planetary scales".

Giorgio Parisi is an Italian physicist who is famous for his contributions to the study of complex systems and statistical physics. He is particularly known for his work on the theory of disordered systems, which has applications in fields ranging from condensed matter physics to computer science. Parisi is also known for his contributions to the development of the theory of phase transitions and for his work on the behavior of matter at extremely high temperatures and densities. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2021 for his contributions to the study of complex physical systems.
