PhD Candidate in Artificial Intelligence | AI, Agent-Based Modeling, and Economics
PhD Candidate in the National PhD Program in Artificial Intelligence at Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna and the University of Pisa. My research lies at the intersection of AI, agent-based modeling, and economics, with a focus on adaptive multi-agent systems, statistical verification of simulations, and robust quantitative methods for financial and socio-economic data.
Core Research: adaptive multi-agent systems, economic simulation, statistical model checking, robust statistics, financial econometrics.
PhD Project: Learning How to Learn — Adaptive Cognitive Architectures for Economic Network Formation
I study how economic agents can switch across heuristic, learned, and deliberative policies while their interaction networks evolve endogenously.
Current lines of work
- adaptive multi-agent architectures for economic simulation
- statistical verification of agent-based models through explicit properties and convergence diagnostics
- robust quantitative methods for portfolio allocation, systemic risk, and firm-level distress
