Stefano Moretti

Professor, Soton

Stefano Moretti is a Full Professor of Particle Physics Phenomenology at the University of Southampton and a leading member of its High Energy Physics (SHEP) group. His research centers on collider phenomenology within both the Standard Model and beyond-the-Standard-Model frameworks, with particular expertise in supersymmetry, extended Higgs sectors, QCD and electroweak interactions, and higher-order corrections essential for precision predictions at particle colliders. He has made significant contributions to the development and application of Monte Carlo event generators and advanced theoretical tools used to interpret data from high-energy experiments, especially at the CERN and the Large Hadron Collider. Over his career, he has authored more than 550 peer-reviewed scientific publications, reflecting a broad and sustained impact on contemporary high-energy physics.


After earning his PhD from the University of Torino, Prof. Moretti held research positions at the University of Cambridge, the University of Oxford, the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, and CERN before joining Southampton in 2003 on an STFC Advanced Fellowship. He currently serves as Director of the NExT Institute and is actively involved in the CMS experiment, underscoring his strong engagement with both theoretical and experimental particle physics communities. In addition to his extensive publication record, he has authored textbooks on supersymmetry and Standard Model phenomenology and has held prominent editorial roles in international journals. His scientific achievements have been widely recognized, including the award of an honorary doctorate from Uppsala University and major international prizes, highlighting his prominent standing in the global particle physics community.
