Biographical Information
Andrea holds a PhD in Economics from the University of Southampton, UK. At the core of his doctoral research there is the idea that the reality is a set of interconnected entities (people, financial institutions, economic sectors, etc.), and the geometrical properties of such interconnections matter for the creation (or the prevention) of crucial dynamical phenomena such as the spread of viruses in human network, the diffusion of information in financial markets or the creation of chains of violence crossing through co-offending networks.
As a doctoral researcher, he has worked on developing mathematical models of diffusion of behaviours on social and economic networks. Before joining the Institute of Criminology, he was a post-doctoral research fellow at the Economics Department of the University of Technology Sydney, where he investigated the mechanics and the consequences of spread of (dis)information in financial markets and the diffusion across the macroeconomy of economic shocks due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
In his current academic work, he studies the nature and the functioning of co-offending network relative to highly dynamical phenomena, with a focus on the spread of gang violence, with the ultimate purpose of developing optimal intervention strategies.
