Giovanni Dalmasso

Giovanni Dalmasso is a Full Professor in the Department of Mathematics and Data Analytics at IQS School of Engineering, Universitat Ramon Llull, Barcelona, Spain. His interdisciplinary work bridges mathematics, computational biology, and ethical AI. He leads research in tissue modeling, systems biology, and moral decision-making in artificial agents.

Education:

• PhD in Natural Sciences, Heidelberg University / German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ), Germany (2017)
• MSc in Mathematical Engineering, Polytechnic University of Turin, Italy (2011)
• BSc in Mathematics for Engineering Sciences, Polytechnic University of Turin, Italy (2009)

His research focuses on Tissue Biology & Disease Modelling, where he applies computational methods to study organogenesis, limb development, and vascular remodeling using 3D imaging. In Mathematical Modelling & Systems Biology, he develops models for biological systems, emphasizing data analysis and parameter optimization. A unique aspect of his work is in Human Moral Decision-Making, where he integrates psychology and neuroscience with computational models to explore ethical AI and cognitive mechanisms of moral behavior.

The recent publications show a strong trend toward integrating computational geometry and imaging in developmental biology, as well as advancing ethical frameworks for AI. His work spans high-impact journals in developmental biology, computer science, and biophysics, reflecting a highly interdisciplinary approach that combines empirical data with advanced modeling techniques.
