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 am also part of Project CETI (Cetacean Translation Initiative), which is an ambitious interdisciplinary endeavor aiming to decode the communication of sperm whales.
I am an MSCA Postdoctoral Researcher at the ISI Foundation in Turin, supported by the Marie Curie project "temporalHOI". I work within the NPLab under the mentorship of Prof. Giovanni Petri, and in collaboration with Dr. Fabrizio De Vico Fallani at INRIA, Paris. I received my PhD in Applied Mathematics from the Complex Systems and Networks Group at Queen Mary University of London, where I worked under the supervision of Vincenzo Nicosia and Lucas Lacasa.
Previously, I held position as a Researcher at CENTAI and worked as a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Neuro-X Institute at EPFL (Geneva), under the guidance of Dr. Enrico Amico within the MIPlab group of Prof. Dimitri Van De Ville. I have also held research positions at The Alan Turing Institute (London) and served as a Research Assistant at Queen Mary University of London.
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.
