Mario Coccia, Research Director of the National Research Council of Italy and Visiting Scholar at the Arizona State University. The goal of my scientific research is to conduct statistical analyses, create models, carry out experiments, and conduct observational studies that illuminate the evolutionary properties of technology in society and processes of coevolution between technologies and measure technological advances over time and space. I have been a research fellow at the Max Planck Institute of Economics and visiting professor at the Polytechnics of Torino and University of Piemonte Orientale (Italy). I have conducted research work at the Georgia Institute of Technology, Yale University, United Nations University-Maastricht Economic and Social Research Institute on Innovation and Technology (UNU-MERIT), RAND Corporation (Washington D.C.), University of Maryland (College Park), Bureau d’Économie Théorique et Appliquée (Strasbourg), Munk School of Global Affairs (University of Toronto), and Institute for Science and Technology Studies (University of Bielefeld). I led the CocciaLAB at the CNR to investigate, with interdisciplinary scientific research, the determinants of socioeconomic phenomena. I have published many papers on the economics of science and innovation, political economy of science and technology, and environmental and sustainability sciences. I am on the editorial board of manifold international journals in different disciplines.
