Information
Mario Paolucci is a Research Director at the National Research Council (CNR) and, since July 1, 2020, has been the Director of the Institute for Research on Population and Social Policies (IRPPS).
He graduated in Physics from the Sapienza University of Rome under Antonio Degasperis and earned his PhD from the University of Florence, working with Rosaria Conte and Cristiano Castelfranchi.
He began his career at the CNR within the Institute of Cognitive Sciences and Technologies. He has worked at the National Institute of Statistics and taught at the Universities of Rome Sapienza, Perugia, and Bologna.
He conducts interdisciplinary research in the field of computational social sciences, specifically applying multi-agent computational models of social phenomena using a generative approach.
At the ISTC, he was co-coordinator, with Giulia Andrighetto, of the Laboratory of Agent-based Social Simulation. He has served as scientific coordinator and principal investigator for projects funded by the European Commission (eRep, FuturICT2).
He is the author of approximately 100 scientific works, including a volume on reputation with Rosaria Conte, and articles in journals such as Advances in Complex Systems, Scientometrics, and International Journal of Approximate Reasoning.
