third mission

The CREF was born with a dual soul: a research centre and a historical museum. Its aim is to preserve and disseminate the memory of Enrico Fermi and to promote the dissemination and communication of scientific culture.

Ritratto di Lorenzo Buffa

Research staff

Lorenzo Buffa

I am a second year PhD student at Tor Vergata University of Rome and Research Center Enrico Fermi. I’m working on complex networks, focusing on applications to economic complexity. My main interest has been the study of Optimal Transport and how it relates to null models for bipartite networks. My approach has been both theoretical and data-driven. I am also working to characterize the phase transition inherent in this kind of model.
