Personal profile

Research

My interdisciplinary research explores practical and fundamental questions in Science, Technology, Economics, Finance, Anthropology and Humanities. My resent work investigates the dynamics of Digital Transformation and the impact of the Fourth Industrial Revolution on the sustainable digital economy, the future of work, green and regenerative finance, decentralized governance, society, art, humanity, and planetary health. I focus on transformative shifts driven by Internet and communication technologies, from Web2 to Web3 Metaverse, and the evolution of Deep Tech, including Blockchain, Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT), Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Quantum Computing. Additionally, my work extends into Climate Tech, Neuroscience, and Scientific Cosmology, addressing both technological advancements and their broader implications.

Beyond technological innovation, my research delves into the philosophical and ethical dimensions of human-machine coexistence, examining the nature of being in an era of rapid digital evolution.
