Manlio De Domenico is a director and professor of applied physics specializing in complex systems and network science, with a decade of experience translating mathematical models into actionable insights for health, infrastructure resilience, and policy. He leads the Padua Center for Network Medicine and holds roles at INFN and the University of Padua, authoring 200+ peer-reviewed papers that span statistical physics, network geometry, and multiscale biological systems. His work bridges academia, industry and policymakers to tackle problems such as pandemic mitigation, behavioral contagion, and climate-driven systemic risk using data-driven simulations and ML. Trained originally in astroparticle physics and chaos theory, he brings a rare mix of rigorous theoretical grounding and applied modeling across multilayer networks and brain connectomics. An engaging science communicator, he curates the popular Substack "Complexity Thoughts," making nuanced ideas about emergent phenomena accessible beyond specialist circles.
