I am a researcher at CREF and mainly deal with Economic Complexity, applying methods derived from statistical physics and complexity theory to study systems linked to large-scale socioeconomic dynamics.

A theoretical physicist by training, I obtained my doctorate in Florence with Stefano Ruffo on the physics of systems with long-range interactions, developing perturbation theory analyses. He subsequently expanded his work experience by working in Paris as a researcher at the Commissariat à l’Énergie Atomique et Énergies alternatives on topics concerning the dynamics of active systems, a term used by physicists to depict systems composed of many complex interacting elements such as animals and people and others. simple ‘particles’.

At CREF, I model complex systems such as international trade or innovation dynamics based on the most ‘rigorous’ approach possible and simple and replicable observations. Of particular interest are the theoretical formulation of a microfoundation of economic complexity and the Fitness&Complexity algorithm using the theory of optimal transposition.

I have participated in various international tender and national research projects (PRIN-WECARE, PRIN-PNRR-TripleT).
