About me
I am a mathematician with a strong interest in applied sciences. My research focuses on complex networks, time series analysis, neuroscience, and information theory, with a particular emphasis on higher-order models and their application to large-scale systems. Currently, my work involves developing topological approaches to infer higher-order dependencies in multivariate time series, with applications in brain data and economics.
I currently hold a position as a Researcher at CENTAI in Turin, Italy, where I collaborate with Prof. Giovanni Petri within the NPLab.
Prior to this, I worked as a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Neuro-X Institute at EPFL in the Geneva campus, under the guidance of Prof. Dimitri Van De Ville and Dr. Enrico Amico. Earlier in my career, I worked as a Research Assistant at Queen Mary University of London.
I completed my PhD in Applied Mathematics at Queen Mary, University of London, within the Complex Systems and Networks Group, under the supervision of Vincenzo Nicosia and Lucas Lacasa. I also spent part of my PhD at The Alan Turing Institute through their enrichment doctoral scheme.
My interest in complex networks began in 2014 during my visits to the Complex Systems and Networks group at Queen Mary University, under the supervision of Vito Latora and Vincenzo Nicosia. I obtained a degree in Mathematics and Master in Applied Mathematics both from the University of Catania. I was also enrolled at the Scuola Superiore di Catania, an institution that gives talented students from the University of Catania complementary and advanced classes and encourages them to start research projects before graduation. My master’s thesis and early research were supervised by Giuseppe Nicosia. You can find more about me here.
