INVITED SPEAKERS

Pr. Mauro Paternostro

Pr. Mauro Paternostro

Palermo University, Italy

Mauro holds the position of Full Professor of Quantum Information Science at the Department of Physics and Chemistry at the University of Palermo. He served as Professor of Quantum Optics at Queen’s University Belfast (QUB). He earned his PhD from QUB in 2005 and subsequently held prestigious fellowships, including a Leverhulme Trust Early Career Fellowship (2005-2008) at QUB and the Universität Wien (Austria), a visiting Research Fellowship at the University of Queensland (Australia, 2008), and an EPSRC Career Acceleration Fellowship at QUB (2008-2014).

Appointed as Lecturer at QUB in 2008, he was later honored with an Alexander von Humboldt Fellowship for Senior Scientists in 2011. With a prolific research career, Mauro has authored over 250 publications in leading scientific journals, amassing more than 16,000 citations and securing over €20 million in research funding.

He currently serves as Editor-in-Chief of Quantum Science and Technology and sits on the Editorial Boards of Optics Communications, EPJ Quantum Technology, Entropy, and Physical Review Research.

Mauro has made significant contributions—both theoretical and experimental—to cavity optomechanics, quantum thermodynamics, and the study of the quantum-to-classical transition.

Alessandro Ferraro is a Professor of Physics at the University of Milan (UniMI), Italy, and a key member of the Quantum Information Group at the same institution. Ferraro earned his PhD in Physics from the University of Milan in 2005 and further expanded his expertise through postdoctoral positions and prestigious fellowships at several prominent research institutions.

His research focuses on quantum information and quantum optics, with particular emphasis on quantum correlations (such as entanglement and discord), open quantum systems, decoherence, quantum control, and quantum thermodynamics. He has published over 100 peer-reviewed papers in prestigious journals, and many most-cited articles in Physical Review A. His work involves collaborations with leading institutions across Europe, and worldwide, and his articles have been cited more than 4500 times.

In addition to his research, Ferraro is actively involved in teaching, offering courses in Quantum Information. He also supervises PhD students and postdoctoral researchers. Ferraro has participated in several EU-funded projects. He continues to contribute to advancements in quantum physics while maintaining an active academic presence.

Pr. Badis Ydri

Pr. Badis Ydri

University of Annaba, Algeria

Badis Ydri is a Professor of Theoretical Particle Physics at the University of Annaba, Algeria. Badis Ydri earned his PhD in 2001 from Syracuse University (USA) under the guidance of Professor A.P. Balachandran, with groundbreaking work on ‘Fuzzy Physics’. He further solidified his academic credentials by obtaining his Habilitation from Annaba University in 2011.

Professor Ydri maintains an active international research presence through his connections to the prestigious Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies (Ireland) as Adjunct Professor, and to the Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP, Italy) as a Regular Research Associate.

His postdoctoral career includes, Marie Curie Fellowship at Humboldt University Berlin (Germany), and Hamilton Fellowship at the Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies.

Ydri’s research interests include: noncommutative geometry; the gauge/gravity duality; computational physics of string theory; renormalization group and Monte Carlo methods in matrix models and noncommutative field theories; emergent geometry, gravity and cosmology from matrix models; and foundations of quantum mechanics. Additionally, he is also interested in string theory; quantum information; causal dynamical triangulation; Horava–Lifshitz gravity; supersymmetric and noncommutative standard models; and supersymmetric gauge theory in four dimensions.

In addition to his distinguished scientific and academic career, Badis Ydri is also a writer and thinker with six books in physics and the philosophy of physics.
