Biography
Born in Cagliari (Italy), on November 28th, 1983. He carried out his undergraduate studies at the Department of Physics of the University of Cagliari (Italy), where he got his bachelor degree on September 23th, 2005, with the mark of 110/110 cum laude, presenting the thesis "Elastic diffusion: Born, Iconale and partial waves approximations ". He got his master degree on Octber 23th , 2007 with the mark of 110/110 cum laude, presenting the thesis "Diffusion processes and centrality measures in Complex Networks ". In January 2008 he began his PhD studies at the Department of Physics of the University of Cagliari in the field of Complex Networks Science and Statistical Mechanics. He got his Ph.D. on January 11th, 2011 presenting the thesis "Reaction-Diffusion processes on complex networks". During the period between 3/08 and 11/08 he worked with COSMOLAB in the Research project "Community Detection in Infrastructural Networks".
From November 2008 till July 2009 he was Visiting Scholar at the Complex Networks group of the Indiana university in Bloomington, IN, USA. From July 2009 till August 2011 he was Research Associate at the Center for Complex Networks Systems Research of the Indiana university in Bloomington, IN, USA.
His research activity focuses on mathematical and computational modeling of dynamical processes on Complex Networks, human behavior and human dynamics. In particular he is involved in the study of centrality measures in large networks, detailed epidemic modeling in structure populations, behavioral changes in populations due to the spreading of infectious diseases, diffusion processes in static and dynamical networks, theoretical aspects of the modeling of infectious diseases in networks and graph theory.
