Giovanni Volpe is a world-leading researcher in the fields of microscopy and spectroscopy of living systems, artificial living matter and in machine-learning algorithms to analyse complex and biological systems. It’s in the latter area Giovanni realized an enormous untapped potential of these methods to be applied for the characterization of the broadest scope of living biological systems studied across the Faculty of Science and other faculties at the University of Gothenburg. 

 He is also a highly regarded mentor and educator of the next generation of researchers, is active in shaping the policies of the graduate education at large and is active in communicating his research to the public as well as spinning it off commercially.

He inspires the people around him, always striving to lift his research environment to the highest international level.
