Mattia Guerino VarroneExpertise
I began my doctoral studies in 2023, focusing on fundamental theoretical physics. My research interests include quantum gravity, cosmology, and quantum field theory. Currently, I am investigating the interactions of quantum fields and gravitational fluctuations during the inflationary epoch of the early universe. Additionally, I am exploring the role of wormholes in quantum gravity and their impact on entropy, especially in de Sitter spacetime.
