Vittorio Loreto, PhD, is a Full Professor of Physics of Complex Systems at Sapienza University in Rome.

From 2017 to 2023, he directed the SONY Computer Science Laboratories in Paris, where he also ran the “Innovation, Creativity and Artificial Intelligence” team. In 2021 he founded a new Sony Computer Science Laboratories in Rome (CSL-Rome). Established through a Joint Initiative with the “Enrico Fermi” Research Centre, CSL-Rome is tackling Sustainable Development Goals with specific initiatives focused on Sustainable Cities, the Infosphere, and the Augmented Creativity.

His scientific activity mainly focuses on the statistical physics of complex systems and its interdisciplinary applications. Over the years, he has been active in the fields of granular media, complexity and information theory, network theory, social dynamics, and innovation dynamics.

Vittorio Loreto published over 200 refereed international publications and chaired several workshops and conferences.
