Portrait of G. Bruno De Luca

I work on quantum gravity and cosmology, and on the connections between physics and artificial intelligence.

Vacancies

A new grant is supporting the growth of a small research group at LAPTh, with funding for a PhD student, a postdoctoral researcher, and two master’s internships.

Details coming soon.
