Biography

Professor Mattioli joined the Indiana University Maurer School of Law faculty in 2012. His research examines cooperative challenges concerning technology and public policy. 

Mattioli's scholarship asks how information-sharing can make society healthier, safer, and more prosperous. Through this lens, Mattioli has examined the pooling of cancer research data, the costs and benefits of patent pools for digital media, and how public policy is shaping "Big Data" technologies that relate to health and public infrastructure. Mattioli shows that law and policy—from intellectual property, to antitrust, to privacy—can lead such endeavors to success or failure. 

Mattioli has co-edited a book on Big Data (Big Data Is Not a Monolith, MIT Press 2016), he has authored numerous academic articles and essays in leading law reviews, and he has written book chapters that examine patent pools, and the promise and perils of data sharing. 

In 2018 Indiana University honored Mattioli with a Trustees Teaching Award. Mattioli is affiliated with Indiana Law's Center for IP Research the Ostrom Workshop in Political Theory and Policy Analysis at Indiana University.  

A graduate of the University of Pennsylvania Law School and Tufts University, Mattioli has held fellowship appointments at Berkeley Law and Michigan Law. Before attending law school, he worked as a microchip designer.
