Bio

Carlo Lucheroni was born in Perugia, Italy, where he attended a Liceo Classico (humanities high school). He then got a degree in physics with summa cum laude marks from the University of Perugia, with a thesis on nonlinear quantum field theory. After that, he got a PhD in physics at the University of Perugia (Perugia, Italy) working on nonlinear dynamical systems (deterministic and stochasitc), during which he spent a period at the Santa Fè Institute for Complex Systems and at the Los Alamos National Laboratories in the USA.

He spent some years working as a post-doc at the Physics-Chemistry department of the University of Catania (Catania, Italy) on hybrid superconducting devices and magnetic systems.

He then got a post-doc position at the University of Camerino (Camerino, Italy) for working on computational quantum mechanics (he installed and developed there the first parallel computing system for the physics department), and after that he got a temporary research position at the same university. During this period he started teaching Econophysics, then Financial Markets' Theory, then Mathematical Finance courses. He then got a permanent Ricercatore position in Mathematical Finance at the same university. 

He is co-founder of the Energy Finance Italia (EFI) series of international conferences on energy finance, where a special attention is devoted to PhD students. He is the current secretary of the EFI Society, which organizes these conferences.

He is also co-founder of the international university network 'Silkway', a network of about twenty entities (universities and other) which organize activities related to sustainability matters in relation to energy.  

He is interested in physics, finance, economics, energy, all kinds of literature and music, medieval history, computer science, artificial intelligence, cinema and photography.
