Giovanni Volpe is Full Professor at the Physics Department of the University of Gothenburg University, where he leads the Soft Matter Lab (http://softmatterlab.org). His research interests include soft matter, optical trapping and manipulation, statistical mechanics, brain connectivity, and machine learning. He has authored more than 100 articles and reviews on soft matter, statistical physics, optics, physics of complex systems, brain network analysis, and machine learning. He co-authored the books “Optical Tweezers: Principles and Applications” (Cambridge University Press, 2015) and “Simulation of Complex Systems” (IOP Press, 2021). He has developed several software packages for optical tweezers (OTS — Optical Tweezers Software), brain connectivity (BRAPH—Brain Analysis Using Graph Theory), and microscopy enhanced by deep learning (DeepTrack). He’s also co-author of the upcoming book “Deep Learning Crash Course” (No Starch Press, 2024) and co-founder of the stat-ups Lucero Bio AB, IFLAI AB, and Identinano AB.
