In the Eighties, Dr. Chiara Nappi |
In the Eighties, Dr. Chiara Nappi began working on the string theory, focussing in particular on low-energy effective actions for string theory and their solutions. In her studies, she investigated the consequences of boundaries and higher loops corrections on the string effective actions through deriving Born-Infeld amd Fierz-Pauli lagrangians from string theory. |
||
Lately, she worked on finding black hole solutions especially in two dimensional string theory. Currently Dr. Nappi is looking for connections between black hole solutions in two and higher dimensions and their apparent relation with AdS/CFT correspondence. |

Chiara R. Nappi, Ph.D
Chiara Nappi, Italian, obtained her Ph.D in Physics from the University of Naples (Italy) in 1976. She then moved to the United States of America to carry out academic research.
Currently she is a professor of physics at the University of Southern California, Department of Physics & Astronomy and at the Institute for Advanced Study located in Princeton, New Jersey.
Dr. Chiara Nappi has carried out research on various aspects of theoretical particle physics, mathematical physics and the string theory. She has also worked on skyrmion description of nucleons, at the interface of particle physics and nuclear physics.
In the Eighties, Dr. Chiara Nappi began working on the string theory, focussing in particular on low-energy effective actions for string theory and their solutions. In her studies, she investigated the consequences of boundaries and higher loops corrections on the string effective actions through deriving Born-Infeld amd Fierz-Pauli lagrangians from string theory.
Lately, she worked on finding black hole solutions especially in two dimensional string theory. Currently Dr. Nappi is looking for connections between black hole solutions in two and higher dimensions and their apparent relation with AdS/CFT correspondence.
Chiara Nappi is married to Dr. Edward Witten, a famous mathematical physicist, Fields medallist, and professor at the Institute for Advanced Study.
