About Me
I am Alessandro Mininno, a postDoc researcher, from October 2024 at the Department of Physics at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
I am Italian, I did my Bachelor and my Master at the University of Trieste, and I completed my studies with a PhD in Theoretical High Energy Physics at the Institute of Theoretical Physics in Madrid.
My research interests focus on String Phenomenology, in particular on the so-called Swampland Program, but I work also on Superconformal Field Theories in various dimensions, in particular on Argyres-Douglas theories.
