Alessio Guarino is a French diplomat and physicist who currently serves [1] as diplomat for the French Ministry of Europe and Foreign Affairs.

Prior to his appointment as a diplomat, he served the government of French Polynesia, under president Oscar Temaru as the Director of Statistical, Evaluation and Performance Measurement from 2011 to 2015, and as the Head of the Faculty of Science at the University of French Polynesia from 2008 to 2010. He was an Associate Professor of Physics at various French universities and a Researcher at the Quantum Institute at the University of California, Santa Barbara, United States, from 1999 to 2001.

Early life and education

edit

Guarino was born on 22 June 1970.

Guarino is a graduate of the University of Florence in Italy. He holds a Doctorate in Physics from the École Normale Supérieure de Lyon and a Research Habilitation from the University of Nice-Sophia Antipolis.

Career

edit

Guarino held positions at the Embassy of France in the United States, the Embassy of France in New Zealand and in the gouvernement of french Polynesia (2011–2015). From 2008 to 2011, he was the dean of the faculty of Science of the University of French Polynesia. He was associate professor of physics at the University of Reunion Island (2015-2019), University of French Polynesia (2001-2010) and Aix-Marseille University (2010-2015). Between 1999 and 2021 he worked as a researcher at the Quantum Institute at the University of California, Santa Barbara, United States.

As a researcher, Guarino and colleagues introduced a numerical technique studying the effect of thermal fluctuations in heterogeneous systems [2][3], which is now largely used [4] in other fields of physics. Guarino also worked in the field of medical physics. Guarino has also worked in the field of medical physics, on a new non-invasive technique to diagnose Neurodegeneration diseases in the early stages, such as Parkinson's disease|Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease|Huntington disease and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis [5].
