I am a Research Director at the Institute of Cognitive Sciences and Technologies of the National Research Council of Italy in Rome, where I am the coordinator of the Laboratory of Agent Based Social Simulation (LABSS). I am Adjunct Professor at the Institute for Analytical Sociology at Linkoping University and Senior Researcher at the Institute for Future Studies, Stockholm, Sweden.
My research focuses on the emergence, enforcement, change and decay of social norms and their effects on cooperation and conflicts. My research topics include cooperation, altruism, honesty, as well as bad norms and misinformation. I use theoretical and computational models, combined with on-line and laboratory experiments, surveys and big data to answer these and related questions about social norms.
