Career and research

After a PhD at ETH Zurich,[3] he held faculty positions at Technical University Munich,[4] University of Cambridge[5] and at the Physics Department of the University of Milan.[6] In 2015 he was elected a Fellow of Queens' College, Cambridge.[7]

Zaccone contributed to various areas of condensed matter physics.

He is known for his work on the atomic theory of elasticity and viscoelasticity of amorphous solids,[8][9] in particular for having developed the microscopic theory of elasticity of random sphere packings and elastic random networks.[10] With Konrad Samwer he developed the Krausser-Samwer-Zaccone equation for the viscosity of liquids.[11] With Eugene Terentjev he developed a molecular-level theory of the glass transition based on thermoelasticity, which provides the molecular-level derivation of the Flory-Fox equation for the glass transition temperature of polymers.[12]

He is also known for having developed, in his PhD thesis, the extension of DLVO theory that describes the stability of colloidal systems in fluid dynamic conditions based on a new solution (developed using the method of matched asymptotic expansions) to the Smoluchowski convection-diffusion equation.[13] The predictions of the theory have been extensively verified experimentally by various research groups. Also in his PhD thesis, he developed a formula for the shear modulus of colloidal nanomaterials,[14] which has been confirmed experimentally in great detail.[15] In 2020 he discovered and mathematically predicted that the low-frequency shear modulus of confined liquids scales with inverse cubic power of the confinement size.[16]

In 2017 he was listed as one of the 37 most influential researchers worldwide (with less than 10–12 years of independent career) by the journal Industrial & Engineering Chemistry Research published by the American Chemical Society.[17] In 2020 he was listed among the Emerging Leaders by the Journal of Physics published by the Institute of Physics.[8]

As of October 2023, he has published well over 150 articles in peer-reviewed journals, h-index=40.[1][6]

In 2021 he led a team that theoretically predicted and computationally discovered well-defined topological defects as mediators of plasticity in amorphous solids.[18] This discovery has been later successfully confirmed independently by a research group led by Wei-Hua Wang and Walter Kob.[19]

In January 2022 he proposed an approximate solution for the random close packing problem in 2D and 3D,[20] which received multiple comments online.[21][22][23][24]
