BIOGRAPHIE 

Leonardo Mazza has studied physics at Università di Pisa and Scuola Normale Superiore from 2003 to 2008. His Ph.D. was carried out in Garching, Munich, at the Max-Planck-Institut of Quantum Optics under the supervision of J. Ignacio Cirac (defense in 2012). After a first post-doc with Rosario Fazio in Pisa, he moved to France, first at Ecole Normale Supérieure with an independent research chair, and later to LPTMS as Maitre de Conférences since 2018. His research interests cover cold-atom physics in a broad sense, with a particular focus on the quantum simulation of topological phenomena (e.g. anyons and Majorana modes) and on systems with synthetic dimensions. He is also interested in out-of-equilibrium physics, dissipative many-body dynamics and thermalization in closed quantum systems.
