Background
Giulia Garcia Lorenzana joined the group of Vincenzo Vitelli in September 2025 as a NITMB Fellow. She leverages statistical physics tools developed for the study of disordered systems to analyze complex, spatially extended ecosystems, and more recently neural networks. She also draws inspiration from the non-equilibrium features of biological systems, such as non-reciprocal interactions, to define novel classes of models with emergent properties that could be widespread in living systems. She was jointly affiliated with the École Normale Supérieure and Université Paris Cité in Paris, working with Giulio Biroli and Ada Altieri, when she received her PhD.
