Assistant professor in the Management of Complex
Systems (MCS) department and the Ernest and Julio Gallo Management
of Innovation Sustainability and Technology (MIST) M. M. program at the
University of California Merced (UCM). Before joining
UC Merced, I was a faculty member at the IMT Institute for Advance Studies
Lucca (Italy).
My research is primarily data-oriented, focusing on the
evolution of large multiscale socio-economic systems by
applying concepts and methods from complex systems,
statistical physics, management and innovation science.
Teaming up with collaborators from a variety of disciplines,
our research has been published in various
multi-disciplinary journals such as Science, PNAS, Nature Communications
and Research Policy, and subsequently covered by the
international media, such as the Boston Globe, Guardian,
WSJ, Espectador, AAAS and Nature.
