Professor Dr. Alessia Annibale

Biography

Alessia Annibale is a Lecturer in Disordered Systems and Neural Networks in the Department of Mathematics at King's College London. She joined King's in September 2007 after completing her PhD, which focused on fluctuation-dissipation relations in coarsening systems. Prior to that, she held a research bursary at the University of Rome 'La Sapienza', where she worked on statistical mechanics of disordered systems. Alessia has a Master's degree in Theoretical Physics, with a thesis on the complexity of the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model from a thermodynamical perspective. Her research interests encompass theory of spin glasses, complexity in the structure of metastable states, equilibrium dynamics, and aging phenomena. She is particularly interested in the interpretation of effective temperatures and null models for real-world networks. Additionally, her work includes exploring entropy measures in network ensembles and characterizing distances in graph dynamics, alongside stochastic processes and critical phenomena in finitely connected random graphs.
