Fondo Italiano per la Scienza (FIS) Advanced Grant
Tackling Complexity: Advanced Numerical Approaches for Multiscale Systems with Uncertainties (ADAMUS)
I have been awarded a FIS Advanced Grant (2025–2028) for the project ADAMUS, which focuses on developing cutting-edge mathematical and computational tools to address the challenges posed by complex multiscale systems affected by uncertainty. This award represents the Italian counterpart to the European Research Council (ERC) Advanced Grants, supporting ambitious and high-impact research by established investigators.
The project combines structure-preserving numerical methods, asymptotic-preserving techniques, machine learning and uncertainty quantification to enable robust and predictive simulations across physical regimes—from kinetic theory to fluid dynamics and data-driven models. ADAMUS aims to advance both the theoretical foundations and the practical algorithms needed to simulate real-world phenomena under conditions of partial information, multiscale coupling, and computational complexity. Applications include plasma physics, transport processes, social sciences and emerging problems in artificial intelligence.
The project will be based at the University of Ferrara, with collaborations across Italy (Catania, Pavia, Parma, Roma,Verona) and Europe (Aachen, Edinburgh, Kaiserslautern, Nice, Oxford, Leuven).
