Assistant Professor - Politecnico di Torino
LORENZO ZINO
Assistant Professor - Politecnico di Torino
I majored in Applied Mathematics (Ingegneria Matematica) at Politecnico di Torino in 2014 and received my PhD degree (with honors) in Pure and Applied Mathematics from Università di Torino - Politecnico di Torino (joint doctorate program) in 2018. After research fellowships at Politecnico di Torino, New York University, and University of Groningen, since October 2022, I joined the Department of Electronics and Telecommunications of the Politecnico di Torino, Italy, where I am a Senior Assistant Professor (RTDb), since 2023. My research production includes more than 100 international scientific publications, including 60 papers in scientific journals. My research interests include but are not limited to the modeling, the analysis, and the control aspects of dynamical processes over network systems (epidemic spreading, opinion dynamics, diffusion of innovation, etc.), applied probability, network modeling and analysis, and game theory.
