I study how technology reshapes systemic risk in interconnected financial systems.
Focus: Network dynamics · systemic risk · financial resilience
I study financial systems as socio-technical systems in which agents, institutions, algorithms and infrastructures interact through feedback. These interactions can produce collective outcomes, such as synchronized behavior, contagion or sudden instability, that no single component produces on its own and that cannot be anticipated by analyzing components in isolation.
