معرفی
Francesco Pinotti is a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Evolutionary Ecology of Infectious Disease Lab at the University of Oxford, focusing on mathematical models for avian influenza and multi-strain pathogens in poultry systems. His broader interests include computational epidemiology, network science, and host behavior's role in disease ecology.
- PhD in Epidemiology and Public Health (2019) – INSERM, Sorbonne Université
- MSc in Physics of Complex Systems (2016) – Université Paris Sud
- MSc in Physics (2016) – Università degli Studi di Ferrara
- BSc in Physics (2014) – Università degli Studi di Ferrara
His research combines analytical and computational tools for multi-scale pathogen dynamics, with collaborations including the One Health Poultry Hub to study avian influenza and foodborne pathogens. Recent work includes agent-based models for poultry networks (EPINEST) and systemic risk in networked systems. Publications span topics like seroprevalence, contact tracing, and cross-pathogen interactions, primarily in journals such as Scientific Reports, BMC Medicine, and PLOS Computational Biology.
Key themes in his work include:
- Digital contact tracing effectiveness
- Host contact networks and strain diversity
- Climate-driven disease emergence
- Multi-pathogen competition-cooperation dynamics
- Geographic importation risk modeling
- Agent-based simulation platforms
His GitHub repository highlights open-source tools for epidemic modeling, including EPINEST and Network-Sensitivity. Despite no explicit awards listed, his interdisciplinary approach bridges physics, epidemiology, and public health policy.
