Giacomo Baggio

🔍 I explore how to understand and influence the behavior of complex systems using tools from dynamical systems and control theory.

🔬 My research covers both theoretical aspects, including fundamental limits, trade-offs, and guarantees in complex systems, and applications where structure, dynamics, and data play a central role, as in neuroscience.
