Simone Spolaor recipient of EUSFLAT 2020 best PhD thesis award

My former PhD student, Simone Spolaor, was awarded by EUSFLAT for the best 2020 PhD thesis on fuzzy logic. Prof. Daniela Besozzi (Simone’s main advisor) and me are incredibly proud of this achievement. Simone’s thesis, titled “Fuzzy Logic for the modeling and simulation of complex systems”, is an investigation about moving back and forth from …

New paper on Scientific Reports

Self-assembling peptides can be useful for clinical applications, for instance as scaffolds based on beta-sheets motifs. The dynamic evolution and self-assemly of peptide systems can be investigated in silico by using molecular dynamics. In particular, coarse-grained simulation exploiting MARTINI force fields can strongly reduce the overall running time and still provide useful information. In a …

New paper about Dynamic Fuzzy Modeling accepted on Bioinformatics

Many years ago we started a cooperation with the Department of Biotechnology and Biosciences of the University of Milano-Bicocca. The goal was to govern programmed cell death on K-ras cancer cells under conditions of glucose starvation. Glucose is directly related to metabolism, i.e., glycolysis and TCA cycle in mitochondria, which in turn determine the production …

New paper accepted on IEEE Transactions on Fuzzy Systems

We use Fuzzy Logic to create interpretable models of heterogeneous cellular systems characterized by uncertainty…
