Francesco Zamponi is a theoretical physicist whose research focuses on the statistical mechanics of disordered and complex systems. His work spans the physics of glasses and jamming, spin glasses, and random constraint satisfaction problems, as well as the interplay between disorder, frustration, and emergent collective behavior. More recently, he has applied concepts and methods from disordered systems to biological contexts, in particular to the statistical physics of fitness landscapes and evolution, developing models that connect sequence variability, epistasis, and evolutionary dynamics.
