Vittorio Loreto is Professor of Physics of Complex Systems at Sapienza University and Research Leader at the ISI Foundation. He is now spending a sabbatical year at SONY Computer Science Lab in Paris. Loreto is coordinating the co-laboratory of Social Dynamics spread among Sapienza University of Rome and the ISI Foundation. His scientific activity is mainly focused on the statistical physics of complex systems and its interdisciplinary applications. In the last few years he has been active in the fields of granular media, complexity and information theory, complex networks theory, communication and language evolution. He coordinated several project at the EU level and he is recently coordinated the EU project EveryAware, devoted to enhancing environmental awareness in urban contexts using social information technologies. In this framework he has been developing new tools for web-gaming, social computation and learning.
