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 a PhD Student at Queen Mary University of London, 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 Institute for Scientific Interchange (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.
