GIUV2026-019

In an economic and financial context marked by structural uncertainty, non-linear dynamics, and increasing computational demands, the group focuses on the development of advanced quantitative methods for decision-making under risk. Its research combines tools from applied economics, optimization, and financial mathematics with emerging paradigms such as quantum computing, hybrid classical-quantum algorithms, and artificial intelligence. The group places particular emphasis on portfolio optimization, efficient allocation of scarce resources, and financial and systemic risk modelling, addressing large-scale problems that exceed the capabilities of conventional analytical and numerical approaches. Beyond methodological contributions, the research aims to generate transferable knowledge with direct applicability to economic analysis, business decision-making, and regulatory and supervisory frameworks.
