About

[WHEN U INVITE TO CONNECT, WRITE WHY OR I DISCARD] [ACCETTO INVITI SE OFFRONO UNA INTRODUZIONE] Luigi engages in designing systems and models applied to sci-tech innovations. As finalist at Singularity University innovation challenges, he conveyed vision to lower negative externalities of wealth inequality and create incentives to decentralise access to capital, through economics networks geared by accountability and traceability of supply-chains - how capital is employed to process innovation. As finalist at Hello-Tomorrow global challenge (AI/big-data track), he conveyed vision to democratise access to knowledge networks, by mapping connections shaping industrial expertise to navigate, overview and summarise the context in between of multi-disciplinary areas. He was invited at Facebook F8 conference for his contribution on data-driven experiences suited for general public. He carries on research on complex networks and UX at Nifty.works, offering discovery platforms for public use and helping companies and labs with consultancies and MVP prototypes. As ambassador for Hello-Tomorrow community, he scouted award-winning team in mobility track for edition 2017. He was speaker at Global Entrepreneurship Congress, in collaboration with Premio Marzotto, and annual conferences at European Union Horizon 2020 research. As digital transformation officer in international development sector, he contributed to empower rural livelihood through ICT in Africa, Caribbean and Pacific regions, collaborating to advisory, strategy, community management activities for deployment of ICT4D solutions and delivery of training programmes. Holds a Master in Complex Actions, post-specialisation degree in management of scientific innovation from SISSA (International School for Advanced Scientific Studies); BSc in International Development from University of Padua, scholarship at Helsinki University and Universidade Caxias do Sul (Brazil); diploma in multimedia communication; a partially completed degree in Computational Engineering.

  • Innovation Systems Designer at Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia
    Mar 2022 - Jun 2022 · 4 mos

    I led the ideation and prototyping of a research-service-system designed to integrate circularity and transparency into innovation processes. My focus was on developing a blockchain-based web service to trace innovation contributed by a consortium of research institutes and private companies. This service supports the tracing of innovation and knowledge transfer within R&D processes throughout the four-year lifespan of a €4M EU-funded project. ► Key Competencies and Contributions * Sustainability - Implemented sustainability principles and KPIs to model contractual transactions of intellectual property, fostering a circular management approach in the research and development processes. This strategy is directed towards enhancing innovations, materials, and product developments. * Business Analytics - Leveraged expertise in knowledge management and discovery to design and prototype a CRM service to trace, analyse, and visualise the emergence of innovations, patents, publications, and novel materials. I supported research activities by modeling the business logic as a graph, prototyping a blockchain-based protocol for traceability of innovation through smart contracts, and designing the IT architecture to support research development with strategic KPIs and automated dashboard reporting. * User Experience (UX) - Developed a research methodology to explore perceptions of innovation in research, informing UX design decisions, business logic, and KPIs. This approach ensured that the design and functionality of the systems were aligned with user needs and project goals. * Technology - Prototype web platform with the stack: Neo4j, Python, Python Flask and other full-stack development skills for rapid prototyping.
