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.

Anna Gallo

After obtaining my Bachelor’s degree in Mathematics (2019) and my Master’s degree in Mathematics (2021) from the University of Florence, I earned my PhD in Computer Science and Systems Engineering (CSSE) from the IMT School for Advanced Studies Lucca in 2025. During my doctoral studies, I worked under the supervision of Prof. Tiziano Squartini and Prof. Diego Garlaschelli, focusing on the study of signed networks, with the aim of reformulating prominent social theories within a statistical framework at both the microscopic and mesoscopic levels.

My main research interests include probability theory, statistical mechanics, the statistical physics of networks, and opinion dynamics.

I am currently a researcher at CREF within the PRIN PNRR project CODE (CUP F53D23009210001).
