Education

He obtained his PhD in physics, in 2003, from Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa.

Career

Between 2004 and 2020 he was senior researcher at Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) in Lyon. Since 2020 he has been Professor of Mathematics at Technische Universität Wien.^[1]

He is currently (2021–2024) co-editor-in-chief (jointly with Bálint Tóth) of the journal Probability Theory and Related Fields.^[2]

Research

Toninelli has contributed substantially to the mathematical theory of disordered statistical mechanical systems, mixing of Markov chains, dimer models. His most significant contributions concern the theory of mean-field spin glasses, of polymers in random environments and of stochastic interface dynamics.
