Research areas
The Department of Computing Sciences is the newest department at Bocconi University. It carries out, disseminates, and expands our knowledge of computing-related research. It promotes scientific discoveries, technological innovation, entrepreneurship, and industrial collaborations. It is committed to the values of inclusivity, integrity, openness, and collegiality.
Its world-class, international, and diverse faculty conducts research in computer science and the social, mathematical, physical, and life sciences related to computing. Our research is supported by a variety of EU, and national agencies, as well as private foundations and companies. Members of the department have been internationally recognized for their research in a wide variety of computing-related areas, both theoretical and applied.
The physics of complex systems and computation is the study of the behavior of complex systems and the application of computational techniques to understand and predict that behavior. Complex systems have many interacting parts, including everything from social and economic systems to biological and ecological networks. This research area aims to develop a greater understanding of how complex systems work and to use that understanding to improve our ability to manage and control them.
