My interests cover a wide variety of fields, from theoretical to experimental ones. I am mainly interested in complex systems and in exploring hidden patterns in real-world big data (but I can not hide my love for purely theoretical physics).

My current activities deal with the mathematical formulation of multiplex networks and the study of dynamical processes on such graphs. I am interested in investigating hidden patterns in complex real and virtual time-varying networks, with particular attention to social, biological and economic data. Indeed, I develop models and simulations of the spreading of epidemics and information in real-world social networks.

A (non-exhaustive) list of topics includes:

Complex systems: complex networks, nonlinear time series analysis, nonlinear dynamics and chaos theory, stochastic processes, fluctuation theory, information theory, multifractals, turbulence

Statistics: extreme value theory, statistics of correlated systems

Physics: ultra high energy cosmic rays, cosmology, quantum field theory, particle physics
