Speaker

Gianluca's research investigates how to build and improve the ability to maintain operations during disruptive events, how to minimise their impacts and how to increase the resilience of the public and private sectors. This includes learning to understand complex challenges such as cascading risks, critical infrastructure failures, cross-sectoral interdependencies, and compound dynamics. Gianluca's work is impact-oriented. Gianluca publishes in cross-disciplinary academic journals and helps create knowledge exchange initiatives that maximise the utility of his research for end-users.
