Gino Isidori received his Ph.D. in physics from the University of Rome in 1996 (Advisor: Prof. Luciano Maiani). He came to the S.L.A.C. Theory Group in Stanford, USA in 1997 as a visiting scientist and joined TUM Theory Group in 2000 as a visiting scientist. From 2000 to 2002 he was a CERN Fellow at the C.E.R.N. Theory Division in Geneva, Switzerland. In 2004 Isidori became a Guest Professor at the Physics Department at Bern University. He was working as Professore a Contratto at the Scuola Normale Superiore in Pisa (Italy) from 2007 to 2008. Today, he is Research Director at I.N.F.N. Frascati National Laboratories in Italy.

Isidori’s main research interest is the theoretical and the phenomenological investigation of fundamental interactions. Within this field they are at the dawn of a new era: the era of the systematic exploration of the TeV energy range at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), at CERN. Theoretical considerations suggest that at these energies they should observe the first clues of new fundamental interactions, or the first clues about new dynamics beyond the so-called Standard Model of particle physics. In this context, his research activity is focused on the formulation of extensions of the Standard Model able to: take into account the phenomenological indications that will emerge from the LHC (and possibly from new high-precision low-energy experiments); incorporate the successes of the Standard Model at low energies; cure the theoretical problems of the Model and extend its validity above the TeV energy range.
