Research summary
AI-generated

Mario Ventresca works on optimization and computational modeling applied to real-world logistics and public health problems, including vehicle routing, infrastructure maintenance planning, and disease spread simulation (e.g., vaccination policy, Zika, COVID-19/influenza co-infection). His work frequently uses tools like genetic algorithms, agent-based simulation, network analysis, and game theory to design or evaluate decision-making strategies. Some collaborative projects also touch on brain connectivity and medical imaging data analysis.
