Il Dr.Antonino Del Popolo suo interesse principale e' la Cosmologia Fisica. Il Dr. Del Popolo si è anche interessato dello studio delle forze stocastiche in sistemi gravitazionali, e di modelli di migrazione in sistemi planetari extra-solari. Recentemente si è occupato degli effetti dei barioni sulle predizioni del modello CDM su piccole scale mostrando come la fisica dei barioni possa risolvere i punti deboli del modello ΛCDM sulla scala del kpc.  Infine si sta occupando del ruolo della materia oscura sulla struttura di oggetti compatti.  

Il Prof. Del Popolo è autore di oltre 200 lavori con  h-index (generale) 30 e h-index primo autore pari a 23 (i.e., i lavori non sono stati prodotti in grandi collaborazioni, ed il primo autore e' in quasi tutti gli articoli il Dr. Del Popolo)
