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.


Current Research

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

Featured Projects

  • Risk Sentinel: An interactive network systemic risk contagion model and agentic AI workflow for stock market networks. (GitHub Repository)
  • Island Model SMC: A parallel Sequential Monte Carlo algorithm for the automated parameter calibration and statistical validation of complex dynamical stochastic simulation models. (GitHub Repository)
  • Multi-Agent Orchestration: A framework designed for the orchestration, scheduling, and formal verification of complex multi-agent system workflows. (GitHub Repository)
