Gianluigi Rozza
professor of Numerical analysis and scientific computing SISSA, coordinator SISSA mathLab
After earning a degree in Aerospace Engineering and a PhD in Numerical Analysis and Computational Engineering, Gianluigi Rozza worked as a researcher first at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Boston and then at EPFL in Lausanne. After returning to Italy, in 2012 he joined SISSA mathLab, SISSA’s research group devoted to applied mathematics and scientific computing, which he now coordinates. Since 2018, he has been Full Professor of Numerical Analysis and Scientific Computing at SISSA. He is included in the Top Italian Scientists list in the Mathematics category and, since 2025, has served as President of SIMAI, the Italian Society for Applied and Industrial Mathematics.

In everyday life, we are used to looking for precise and definitive answers. And yet, much of scientific thinking is based on approximations and margins of error. Mathematical models are a good example: from climate science to engineering simulations, from medical to economic forecasting, these models describe reality without eliminating its uncertainty. Understanding when a result can be considered reliable, and how we interpret — or misinterpret — probabilities and predictions, helps us reflect on the forms that thinking takes when there are no unambiguous answers.
