Biography

I am a theoretical physicist and my research activity includes subjects that are at the interface between complex systems, cosmology and gravitational dynamics. Besides physics I am interested in science policy and epistemology. I became staff researcher at the Enrico Fermi Center in 2010 and I currently work at the Institute for Complex Systems of the Italian National Research Council in Rome. In addition, I am an associated scientist at the Italian National Institute for Particles Physics (INFN). I have been for about 10 years at the University of Geneva and at the University of Paris XI where I have developed the core of my research activity. During my career I have collaborated with researchers from many different countries, including Europe, United States and Russia.
During my professional career have published more than 100 papers in peer-reviewed journals, and about 40 proceedings of international conferences and workshops. In addition, I have co-authored the technical monograph “Statistical Physics for Cosmic Structures” edited by Springer Verlag (2005) and the book “Dynamics and thermodynamics of system with long-range interactions” edited by the American Institute of Physics (2008). I have also written the book Science and the Economic Crisis: impact on science, lessons from science (Springer 2016). have been in the organizing committee of 11 international conferences and workshops, I was invited speaker at about 20 international conferences, 30 international workshops, and 20 national meetings. In addition, I have given more than 50 invited seminars at different institutions in Europe, US and Russia.
