Summary
👤
SeniorStefano Balietti is a postdoctoral computational social scientist and open-source developer with 14 years of interdisciplinary experience bridging data science, experiments, and simulation. Based at the University of Mannheim, he studies governance of blockchain systems, persuasion by large language models, social influence and polarization, and incentive designs for collective intelligence while applying Bayesian optimization and experimental design. He built nodeGame, a JavaScript platform for real-time browser-based behavioral experiments, and co-founded the State of Crypto network to study crypto as a socio-technical system. Having worked across top research hubs including Microsoft Research NYC, Harvard IQSS, ETH Zurich and Northeastern, he combines rigorous empirical methods with practical tooling to run scalable online experiments. An unexpected thread through his work is a sustained interest in philosophy of science—especially Feyerabend—which shapes his pluralistic approach to methods and theory.
