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.

Daniele Cirulli

I am in the first year of my doctorate in Physics at the University of Rome “Tor Vergata” and the “Enrico Fermi” Research Center. Previously, I obtained a Master’s Degree in Physics with a specialization in “Physics of Complex Systems and Big Data” at the same university.

My research mainly focuses on detecting significant patterns in social networks, adopting a statistical mechanics and machine learning approach. Currently, I am dedicated to analyzing user interactions and conversations on Reddit, to examine the existence of social phenomena such as Polarization and Echo Chamber.

In general, I am strongly interested in studying complex systems, applying physics principles in the social and economic context, and designing algorithms to reach optimized solutions.
