Curriculum

I am Associate Professor in Physics at the Engineering Department of the University Roma 3 of Rome. Previously I was permanent researcher at the Institute of Complex Systems (ISC) of the Italian CNR from 2004 to 2019. I worked in the last 25 years in statistical physics, fractal growth phenomena, percolation, self-organized criticality, application of statistical physics to cosmological and gravitational problems. My main present interest focuses on the applications of complex networks and stochastic processes to economy and brain science. Since January 2021 I serve as the Scientific Director of the "Enrico Fermi" Research Center (CREF) of Rome. More in detail my present scientific activity deals with: 1) Applications of complex network theory to socio-economic networks and analysis of fMRI data about brain function; 2) Statistical physics of extended gravitational and long range interacting systems; 3) Stochastic processes with multiplicative noise, turbulence and the relation with long range interactions; 4) Theory of anomalous diffusion in NMR experiments in organic and inorganic complex media.
