About Me

Ciao! I am a third-year PhD student in Physics at University of Catania (Italy) and at the Complex Systems Lab of Scuola Superiore di Catania. I am also a member of the Catania ATP group, a research group for interdisciplinary applications of theoretical physics, and I am associated to INFN (Sect. Catania), taking part in the To61 Project.

I received a Laurea Magistrale in Theoretical Physics (equivalent to a MSc), from the University of Catania in December 2007, after discussing a Thesis entitled "Analisi statistica del Proteoma mediate studio di Motivi Significativi". My University studies have been supported by a grant of Scuola Superiore di Catania (SSC), an institution for higher education. At SSC, in December 2008, I also received a Diploma degree, discussing the Thesis "Evolutionary Games on Graphs: the Ultimatum Game".

Following the "footprints" of my advisor, Prof. Vito Latora, I have learnt how funny it is playing with Complex Systems! In particular, I am interested in applying methods proper to Statistical Physics to study complex networks and collective phenomena. I worked on biological networks extracted from proteomic data, I got interested in patterns of cortical connectivity in human brain and I also played with evolutionary game theory on graphs. Now I'm investigating diffusion process on networks, focusing on biased random walk. Probably it is too much for someone who is just a PhD student... but I don't like getting bored! :)
