Giulio serves as principal investigator on VALAWAI, a European project focused on value-aware artificial intelligence. The goal is to design AI systems that integrate moral values to address online polarisation and enhance user experiences through more inclusive and constructive interactions. 

Giulio studied Mathematics (BSc) at the University of Padua and specialised in Probability Theory (MSc) at Pierre et Marie Curie University in Paris. Recognizing the potential of mathematical methods, he pursued a PhD in Applied Mathematics at the Hamilton Institute, Ireland, under Prof. Ken Duffy, collaborating with immunologists to analyse T-cell division data and develop probabilistic models of cell proliferation. Afterward, he conducted postdoctoral research at Institut Curie, using transcriptomics to study DNA damage response. 

He joined Sony CSL in Paris, transitioning to computational social science, where he worked on projects involving music success prediction, news dynamics, and polarisation in social media.
