Francesco Bajardi

Francesco is a post-doctoral researcher at Scuola Superiore Meridionale (SSM), who graduated in theoretical physics at the University of Palermo and got the PhD at the University of Naples “Federico II”.

His research is mainly focused on basic foundations and applications of gravity theories, as well as their

applications to classical and quantum cosmology and black holes. His attention is mainly devoted to the study of topological field theories, or theories
containing topological invariants (such as Chern-Simons or Gauss-Bonnet Gravity).
