Fabrizio Durante is a Full Professor of Probability and Mathematical Statistics at the University of Salento, Department of Mathematics and Physics "Ennio De Giorgi" in Lecce, Italy. Previously, he served as Full Professor of Mathematical Methods for Economics, Finance, and Actuarial Sciences from December 2016 to October 2024.
Durante earned his PhD in Mathematics from the University of Lecce and completed his Habilitation in Mathematics at Johannes Kepler University of Linz in 2010. His academic career includes positions as Assistant Professor (2010-2014) and Associate Professor (2015-2016) of Statistics at the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano.
His research focuses on stochastic methods and models for complex systems and machine learning, with significant applications in quantitative risk management across hydrology, environmental sciences, economics, and finance. Durante is particularly renowned for his contributions to copula theory, co-authoring the monograph "Principles of Copula Theory" with Carlo Sempi.
Durante currently serves as national coordinator of the Italian MIUR project "Stochastic Modeling of Compound Events" (2023-25) and is affiliated with the ICSC National Research Center in High Performance Computing, Big Data and Quantum Computing.
