Paolo Dai Pra

Paolo Dai Pra is a Full Professor at the University of Verona, Department of Computer Science, within the College of Science and Engineering. His research focuses on stochastic processes and their applications in biological, social, and physical systems. He holds administrative roles such as Director Vicario of the Computer Science Department Board and participates in various committees, including the Computer Science Department Council and Erasmus committees.

His research interests include large-scale interacting systems, geometric properties of stochastic processes, convergence to equilibrium, and mean-field games. Notable contributions include work on Grand Deviations principles for disordered systems, duality theorems in stochastic control, and spectral gap analysis in zero-range processes. His teaching spans undergraduate and graduate courses in Probability, Statistics, and Stochastic Systems across programs in Applied Mathematics, Data Science, and Engineering.

Recent publications highlight his exploration of stochastic volatility models, noise-induced oscillations, and mean-field game dynamics. He has contributed to educational materials on probability fundamentals and statistical methods through specialized course texts and chapters.
