An Incentive-Based Framework to Nudge the Adoption of Sustainable Technologies
This talk addresses the critical challenge of promoting the adoption of sustainable technologies, focusing on individual resistance to change and the role of incentive-based policies. By combining opinion dynamics models with control theory, the proposed framework analyzes how beliefs evolve under different policies and how incentives can be optimally designed, accounting for social interactions, individual characteristics, and resource allocation.

Learning-Based Decisions for Financial Applications
This presentation focuses on the analysis and modeling of high-frequency limit order book data in modern electronic financial markets. Leveraging point process models such as Hawkes processes and approaches inspired by complex systems, the research aims to capture the strong nonstationarity and uncertainty of market dynamics. By combining data-driven learning methods with structure-aware models, this work seeks to improve the understanding and prediction of short-term market behavior.
Speaker Pitch
Giovanni Indino
The seminar provides an excellent opportunity to explore state-of-the-art research topics, foster scientific discussion, and encourage the exchange of ideas among early-stage researchers.
