Jonathan Franceschi serves as a Visiting Professor in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Pavia, maintaining an office in room C11. His academic profile is anchored in the Mathematical Physics research group, with active contributions to interdisciplinary mathematical modeling.
His research spans Mathematical Physics, Network Theory, Kinetic Theory, and Fractional Calculus, with pronounced applications in social dynamics and public health. Key focus areas include epidemic modeling, opinion polarization mechanisms, and fake news diffusion—particularly examining Italian vaccination hesitancy during the Covid-19 pandemic. His methodological toolkit integrates kinetic equations, graph theory, and optimal control frameworks for complex networked systems.
Analysis of his 15 publications (2019–2025) reveals a cohesive trajectory: early work established foundations in fractional calculus and numerical methods, while recent research pivots toward data-driven social modeling. Dominant themes include consensus optimization with condensation phenomena, graphon-based opinion dynamics, and uncertainty quantification in epidemic control—all demonstrating rigorous mathematical formalism applied to real-world sociotechnical challenges.
Franceschi actively supports academic community initiatives including Five o'clock TeX (offering LaTeX courses via Zoom), The break bridge (curating educational handouts), and the CompMat poster template project. His digital scholarship footprint is visible through arXiv, ResearchGate, ORCID, and Google Scholar profiles.
