Biography

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 currently spending an enrichment year at The Alan Turing Institute as part of my 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). My main PhD project deals with the Mathematical Modelling of Urban Systems. I am also collaborating with the Dynamical Systems and Statistical Physics Group as part of the LoBaNet project.

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.

Teaching

I’ve been teaching assistant for the following courses at QMUL:

• ²⁰¹⁶⁄₂₀₁₇ Introduction to Statistics (MTH4106/MTH4206).
• ²⁰¹⁶⁄₂₀₁₇ Network Modeling and Performance (ECS724U/P).

Referee Activity

I’ve been a reviewer for the journals:
