On Monday, May 18th, 2026, I will be co-organizing and participating in the workshop “COMPASS: Complexity, Markets, Policy, and AI in Social Systems”, held at Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna in Pisa.

The workshop aims to explore the transformative role of Artificial Intelligence in understanding and modeling complex social systems, bringing together researchers from different fields to discuss the intersection of complexity, markets, and policy.

I am particularly excited to be part of the Organizing Committee and to speak in Panel 3: AI for Complexity and Economic Systems (16:00 – 17:15), alongside Lorenzo Emer, Giuseppe Squillace, and Anna Gallo.
