Carlo Rovelli is an Italian physicist, philosopher and writer known for his work in theoretical physics, particularly loop quantum gravity. He has also written several popular science books, including 'Seven Brief Lessons on Physics' and 'Reality Is Not What It Seems'.
Carlo Rovelli was born on May 3, 1956, in Verona, Italy.
He obtained his PhD in physics from the University of Padua in 1986.
He has held positions at numerous institutions, including the University of Pittsburgh, the University of Marseille, and the Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics.
Rovelli has made significant contributions to the field of loop quantum gravity, including the discovery of Rovelli entropy and the formulation of covariant loop quantum gravity.
He has also been recognized for his work in popularizing science, winning the Prix du Livre Haute Maurienne for 'Seven Brief Lessons on Physics' in 2016.
He continues to write and teach, and is a member of the International Society for the Study of Time.
