Bio

I am a physicist with a strong interest in applied sciences. My research deals with Complex Networks, Data Science and their application to social and urban systems.

I am currenyl doing a PhD at Queen Mary University of London, where I work within the Complex Systems and Networks Research Group. My supervisors are Vito Latora (QMUL) and Elsa Arcaute (Centre for Advanced Spatial Analysis, UCL). I am also collaborating with the Dynamical Systems and Statistical Physics Group as part of the LoBaNet project. I spent last year at The Alan Turing Institute as part of the enrichment doctoral scheme.

Previously, I worked at the ISI Foundation in Turin within the Data Science and Mathematics & Foundation of Complex Systems groups. Before, I was Data Science Intern at UN Universal Postal Union in Bern.
