Meet the editors

Vittorio Rosato has a laurea degree in Physics (University of Pisa, 1979) and a Ph.D. in Physics (University of Nancy, 1986). He was a research associate at the University College of Wales in Aberystwyth (UK) and EURATOM Fellow at the CEA Centre de Recherche Nucleaires de Saclay (F). His research field has been computational methods in condensed matter physics and complexity science. He is currently the research director at ENEA

Casaccia Research Centre, at the Laboratory of Analysis and Protection of Critical Infrastructures, and at the Italian Node of the European Infrastructure Simulation and Analysis Centre (EISAC.it). His current research activities span from risk analysis to the design of decision support systems for the management of complex technological networks.

Antonio Di Pietro earned his master's degree in Informatics Engineering at the Sapienza University of Rome in 2004 and his Ph.D. in the same field at Roma Tre University in 2015. He has been working as a researcher at ENEA since 2007. His current research activities include modeling and simulation of critical infrastructures and the development of decision support systems integrating natural hazard modeling. He took part in several European

and Italian national research projects and acted as an adviser in some evaluation studies commissioned by the EU in the field of critical infrastructure protection. He has been an adviser of several MSc students and also a professor in software engineering, programming languages, databases, and distributed applications courses.
