I am a statistician with a background in economics, innovation, and human development.

My research explores the latest trends in artificial intelligence and digital transformation, with a personal focus on the emergence of collaborative structures involving companies and research institutions in the development of cutting-edge technologies. Additionally, my academic work centers on machine learning techniques, complex networks, multi-layer networks, and community detection.
