Giovanni Cunico is a postdoctoral researcher in the Institute of Management and Organisation at Università della Svizzera italiana (USI). He holds a PhD in Management from UNSW Sydney, where he studied behavioural aspects of strategic decision-making, and a European Master’s in System Dynamics. His research combines system dynamics modelling, participatory methods, and behavioural experiments to understand how strategic decisions and policies emerge and feed back in complex systems, with prior work on EU regional policy and UK housing retrofit policy. Within LEAPS, Giovanni applies this expertise to reconstructing decision-making and policymaking processes, developing models to understand threat assessment and governance in pandemic preparedness and response.Giovanni Cunico is a postdoctoral researcher in the Institute of Management and Organisation at Università della Svizzera italiana (USI).
