Profile
Associate Professor at the University of Palermo, with expertise in Mathematical Methods for Economics and Finance.
My research focuses on optimization models, as well as fuzzy and stochastic approaches, agent-based simulations, and efficiency analysis using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). I have published in areas such as portfolio optimization, revenue management, and the assessment of sustainable well-being. My current work is centered on the development of predictive models for economic and social forecasting, leveraging text analytics, sentiment analysis, and neural networks.
