Research interests

My research interests lay at the boundary of economics, computer sciences, and social networks. My earlier research was on innovation diffusion and knowledge diffusion models, investigating the relation between social network architectures and speed of diffusion. Recently, I have been working at the interface between innovation economics and chemistry – i.e. on innovative waste valorisation activities for sustainability transitions and the bio-based economy. My publications appeared on several international journals such as Ecological Economics, Research Policy, Journal of Cleaner Production, Theory and Decision, Journal of Evolutionary Economics, and others.

Research projects

Currently, I’m vice-chair and Management Committee member of the Cost Action TD1203. I’m also involved in the following two European funded projects:

  • FP7 - SSH – Title: European Union Action to Fight Environmental Crime (EFFACE), member of the Uniroma1 research team, Project reference: 320276.

  • FP7 - REGPOT-2011-1 – Workpackage Leader (WP2) “Exchange of know-how and recruitment of experienced researchers”, project on: Scientific & technological advancement in research on agro-energy: an integrated approach to renewable energy generation according to sustainability criteria (STAR-AgroEnergy).
