Modeling group mixing in social networks and epidemic diffusion at the urban scale

Accurate data-driven models for epidemic spreading are crucial to the understanding of epidemic dynamics and the design of suitable non-pharmaceutical interventions. One main feature of social networks is group mixing, as highlighted by the widely observed differences in the density of social ties between and within groups of similar individuals in real-world networks. In this […]

Il Memory delle particelle al Festival della Scienza di Genova

Come si fa a vedere qualcosa di così piccolo che neanche un potente microscopio riesce a ingrandire abbastanza? Le particelle che si studiano in fisica sono invisibili ai nostri occhi, ma le possiamo “vedere” grazie alle tracce che lasciano al loro passaggio, per esempio in un gas. Ognuna ha un movimento tutto suo, una specie […]
