Irene Crimaldi

Irene Crimaldi is an Associate Professor of Statistics at IMT Lucca (Italy) since 2011. She serves on the Scientific Board of IMT's PhD programs. Her academic journey includes roles as a researcher and part-time professor at the University of Bologna (2006-2011) and a tenured assistant professor at IMT Lucca (2011-2014).

Crimaldi holds a cum laude degree in Mathematics from the University of Pisa and a cum laude PhD in Financial Mathematics from the Scuola Normale Superiore (Pisa). She has received scholarships from Istituto Nazionale di Alta Matematica and fellowships from University of Pisa and University of Bologna.

Her research focuses on Probability and Statistics with applications in Economics, Social Sciences, Computer Science, and Engineering. Key areas include interacting reinforced stochastic processes, network modeling, urn models, species sampling, and stable convergence. She has co-authored influential works on synchronization phenomena, systemic risk in OTC markets, and latent attribute network models.

Crimaldi's peer-reviewed publications span 15 most recent articles (2013-2025) addressing synchronization rates, network dynamics, and systemic risk. These works employ stable convergence, central limit theorems, and reinforcement mechanisms, contributing to disciplines like stochastic processes, financial mathematics, and network science.

She actively collaborates with institutions such as the University of Bologna, University of Pisa, and IMT Lucca, integrating mathematical rigor with real-world applications in financial systems and social networks.
