- RT3 – Right team, right tech, righ time: data-driven prediction of startup success and exit
After obtaining a degree in Physics from the University of Rome “La Sapienza,” I earned a PhD at the IMT School for Advanced Studies Lucca under the supervision of Professors Diego Garlaschelli, Tiziano Squartini, and Giulio Cimini. My doctoral research focused on the structure and dynamics of economic networks. Since January 2025, I have been a researcher at CREF within the RT3 project, where I work on forecasting the innovation and growth potential of start-ups.
