Sebastiano Stramaglia is currently a full professor of applied physics and the Head of the Center of Innovative Technologies for Signal Detection and Processing, University of Bari, Bari, Italy. His interests span from statistical mechanics to information theory for complex systems. He contributed to the development to several methodological approaches to analyze network data and complex signals, mainly for biomedical applications. His current research focuses on the analysis of information flow patterns, both at the lowest level (Granger causality, transfer entropy) and at higher order levels of statistical dependencies.
