Francesco CIARDIELLO | Curriculum

Current Position

I have recently joined University of Salerno at the Department of Economics adn Statistics (DISES) in the South of Italy as a senior Lecturer (Ricercatore Tempo Determinato-Tipo B ) in Mathematical Methods for decisions in Economics and Finance or code SECS/06 (code for job position 13D/4).

Short biography

I have been employed at University of Sheffield for the previous years. My background is mathematics having studied for a PhD in Mathematical Methods for Economics and Finance at University of Foggia (in Italy) with a thesis on the existence of Nash equilibrium in non-cooperative games. My Bachelor and M.Sc. degree was obtained at University of Bari (in Italy). My dissertation thesis was in pure mathematics and it deals with the existence of a solution for a class of elliptical equations. I have worked at The University of Foggia, University of Bari, University of Campobasso and Politecnica of Bucharest, University of Lion, University of Birmingham and University of Sheffield.

Research description and research interests

My interests are in the field of mathematical economics, game theory, and operational research for supply chains, decision science. I am, particularly, interested in applications of game theory to management problems. I have also developed my personal research network and agenda in the UK with multiple co-authors based in British leading institutions such as University of York, University of Birmingham and University of Warwick.

Teaching interests

I have been delivering tutorials on the modules analysis for decision making at the Management School of the University of Sheffield. During my academic positions in Italy, I have been employed as a lecturer delivering lectures in the field of calculus, financial methods for economists, linear algebra for economists. The above modules were taught in departments of economics, management and mathematics at undergraduate and post-graduate levels.
