Rate My Professor Graziano Venanzoni

Professor Graziano Venanzoni is Leverhulme International Professor in Physics at the University of Liverpool. He joined the University in autumn 2022 through a £4.3 million Leverhulme International Professorship award. He is part of the School of Physical Sciences within the Faculty of Science and Engineering and works in the Particle Physics research group.

His research focuses on precision muon physics. He serves as one of the two spokespersons for the muon g-2 experiment at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory in the United States. Professor Venanzoni previously held a position at INFN-Sezione di Pisa and participated in the KLOE experiment at the INFN Frascati National Laboratory from 1994 to 2012. He joined the muon g-2 collaboration in 2009. At Liverpool he leads a programme supported by the Leverhulme Trust to advance measurements and theoretical calculations in muon physics, including work on the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon. Additional grants support his research through the Science and Technology Facilities Council and the Royal Society. His contributions have been recognised in Nature magazine’s selection of scientists to watch for 2022.
