The Nobel Prize in Physics 2021 has been awarded to Giorgio Parisi for his work in statistical physics, with the other half going to two specialists in climate modeling. Giorgio Parisi, professor at the University of Rome "La Sapienza", has made numerous stays in the Paris region, where he has established many collaborations.
Giorgio Parisi has been distinguished for his work on disordered systems: The Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model in the first place (a mean-field spin glass model), for which he found the solution "with a very unconventional method" and revealed a surprisingly complex and totally new physics. The Edwards-Anderson model then (a spin glass model on a lattice), with both analytical and numerical methods.
