The CODE (Coupling Opinion Dynamics with Epidemics) project focuses on studying the relationship between opinion dynamics, influenced by the dissemination of information and online debate, and the management of epidemics. On the one hand, it aims to shed light on the role of social media in the success of containment policies; on the other, the goal is understanding whether extreme and unexpected events, which are followed by government actions dictated by emergency, can lead to polarization of public debate and political radicalization.

MOBIOS is a PRIN 2022 research project aimed at advancing the multiscale modelling of biofilm formation and evolution in complex porous media, with direct relevance to environmental, industrial, and biotechnological applications. The project addresses a major open challenge: bridging pore-scale microbial processes with macroscopic transport and reactive behavior in heterogeneous systems.
