I have a physics background since I obtained both a Bachelor and a Master degree in physics and theoretical physics at the University of Catania. During my studies, I realized that I am strongly passionate about complex systems and I love the idea to face different types of problems using maths, lateral thinking and a bit of imagination.

My Bachelor thesis was about the relationship between talent and luck using an agent-based model.

For my master's thesis, on the other hand, I had the opportunity to go to the Queen Mary University of London where I worked on temporal networks and chaos theory.

For these reasons I like to define myself as scientifically eclectic, I love the idea of being able to work on projects that are very different from each other. Currently, I am interested in social dynamics and in particular in studying the mathematical aspects of social networks with group interactions.

In my free time, I love to plan trips and adventures alone or with my friends, trying every summer to make long journeys full of experiences and stories to tell.
