Dr Carlo Campajola holds a PhD cum laude in applied mathematics (quantitative finance) from the Scuola Normale Superiore (Pisa, Italy), which he earned working on models of discrete autoregressive processes intersecting methods from statistical physics and financial econometrics. He previously graduated from the International Master in Physics of Complex Systems organised by the Polytechnic of Torino, the International School for Advanced Studies in Trieste and the Campus Paris Saclay in Paris.

His current research activity, together with Prof. Dr Claudio J. Tessone, focuses on the analysis of cryptocurrencies from a complex systems perspective, with particular attention to the characterisation of individual properties of economic agents which affect the collective functioning of the system. Specific topics include analysis of transaction networks, modelling of the velocity of tokens, statistical methods for blockchain deanonymisation and fraud detection, and financial properties of crypto assets.
