Gianluca Guadagni joined the School of Data Science as an Associate Professor in 2022. He taught at the University of Rome Tor Vergata and was a visiting assistant professor at the College of William and Mary before joining the Applied Mathematics Program at the University of Virginia's School of Engineering and Applied Science.
Guadagni has introduced active learning methodologies in applied math courses, and has developed a teaching method course for undergraduate teaching assistants in collaboration with the Center for Teaching Excellence. His research is in statistical mechanics, renormalization group, Stochastic processes, and mathematical modeling. He is interested in understanding complex systems and their many dimensions and components. Recent research works are on derivative-free training of neural networks and on the Stochastic Wave Equation with non-linearity.
