Biography
I obtained my Master degree in Physics from the University of Bologna, Italy, in October 2002, and completed the joint supervision of a doctoral thesis between the University of Bologna and the University of Sud Toulon-Var, France, receiving my PhD in Physics in July 2006.
After performing postdoctoral research at the University of Bologna concerning the development of numerical models for the simulation of the dynamics of systems characterized by long-range interactions, I joined in April 2007 the Institute for Biocomputation and Physics of Complex Systems (BIFI) in Zaragoza, Spain, as a postdoctoral research associate, working in collaboration with the National Fusion Laboratory (CIEMAT) of Madrid. My research was mainly devoted to the computational modeling of plasma physics phenomena relevant to the neutral beam injectors proposed for the ITER international project.
Before joining Northeastern University in September 2011, I worked since January 2011 at the Institute for Scientific Interchange in Torino, Italy. Current research activity focuses on the mathematical and computational modeling of the spreading of epidemics at the worldwide scale, based on a structured metapopulation approach.
