In 2014 he has co-founded the Mediterranean School of Complex Networks, [1] and in 2019 he has contributed to found the Italian Chapter of the Complex Systems Society. [2]

Contents

The focus of his research is on complex adaptive systems and big data analysis, where he is best known for his theoretical and computational work in network science, statistical physics and nonlinear dynamics of multilayer systems. [3]

Early life and education

He was born in Messina in 1984. He got his Ph.D in Nuclear and Astroparticle physics from the University of Catania and the Scuola Superiore di Catania in 2012, proposing a data-driven model for the propagation of Ultra-High Energy Cosmic Rays (UHECR) in a magnetized Universe and a multiscale approach to analyze their anisotropic distribution at Earth, [4] with visiting scholarships at the Institute for Nuclear Theory [5] of the University of Washington and the Institut de physique nucléaire d'Orsay.

Career and research

He held postdoctoral positions (2012-2013) at the School of Computer Science of the University of Birmingham (UK), and (2013-2016) at the University of Rovira i Virgili (Spain). In 2016 he has been a visiting scholar at the Max Planck Institute for the Physics of Complex Systems. From 2016 to 2018 he hold the “Juan de la Cierva” senior fellowship at the University of Rovira i Virgili. Since 2018 he directs the Complex Multilayer Networks (CoMuNe) Lab [6] founded at the Fondazione Bruno Kessler.

He has published more than 150 scientific papers, [7] with interdisciplinary contributions in computational social science, network epidemiology, network neuroscience, network medicine and systems biology. Notable works include the tensorial formulation of multilayer structure and dynamics, [3] [8] [9] applications to community structure [10] and coupling of human behavior with epidemic spreading, [11] network geometry, [12] [13] network entropy for multiscale analysis of the interplay between structure and dynamics, [14] percolation and network robustness to perturbations, [15] [16] [17] [18] Infodemic.

His collaborators include Alex Arenas, Sylvie Briand, Guido Caldarelli, James Cronin, Shlomo Havlin, Vito Latora, Yamir Moreno, Mason Porter, Steven Strogatz and Alan Andrew Watson.

Awards and honours

In 2023, he was awarded a significant grant from the Fondo Italiano per la Scienza (FIS) of the Italian Ministry of University and Research, distinguishing himself as one of 47 exceptional scientists selected from 1,912 applicants. This grant provides substantial research funding aimed at developing optimal strategies for adapting human-made systems and networks to the current and future effects of climate change, addressing key challenges at the intersection of complex systems science and environmental change.

Trivia

His influential article, Complesso è diverso da complicato: per questo serve multidisciplinarietà, which discusses the difference between complex and complicated systems and argues for the importance of multidisciplinarity, was featured in Il Sole 24 Ore (Nòva supplement, 6 March 2022, p. 18). This piece was selected by the Italian Ministry of Education as one of the three texts for the 2022 supplementary session of the upper secondary education Italian exams, alongside works by W. Churchill and Philippe Daverio. [External Link to the Italian Exam Document](https://www.istruzione.it/esame_di_stato/202122/Italiano/Suppletiva/P000_SUP22.pdf)

Econophysics is a non-orthodox interdisciplinary research field, applying theories and methods originally developed by physicists in order to solve problems in economics, usually those including uncertainty or stochastic processes and nonlinear dynamics. Some of its application to the study of financial markets has also been termed statistical finance referring to its roots in statistical physics. Econophysics is closely related to social physics.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Self-organized criticality</span> Concept in physics

Self-organized criticality (SOC) is a property of dynamical systems that have a critical point as an attractor. Their macroscopic behavior thus displays the spatial or temporal scale-invariance characteristic of the critical point of a phase transition, but without the need to tune control parameters to a precise value, because the system, effectively, tunes itself as it evolves towards criticality.

Statistical finance is the application of econophysics to financial markets. Instead of the normative roots of finance, it uses a positivist framework. It includes exemplars from statistical physics with an emphasis on emergent or collective properties of financial markets. Empirically observed stylized facts are the starting point for this approach to understanding financial markets.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Time crystal</span> Structure that repeats in time; a novel type or phase of non-equilibrium matter

In condensed matter physics, a time crystal is a quantum system of particles whose lowest-energy state is one in which the particles are in repetitive motion. The system cannot lose energy to the environment and come to rest because it is already in its quantum ground state. Time crystals were first proposed theoretically by Frank Wilczek in 2012 as a time-based analogue to common crystals – whereas the atoms in crystals are arranged periodically in space, the atoms in a time crystal are arranged periodically in both space and time. Several different groups have demonstrated matter with stable periodic evolution in systems that are periodically driven. In terms of practical use, time crystals may one day be used as quantum computer memory.

Applying machine learning (ML) methods to the study of quantum systems is an emergent area of physics research. A basic example of this is quantum state tomography, where a quantum state is learned from measurement. Other examples include learning Hamiltonians, learning quantum phase transitions, and automatically generating new quantum experiments. ML is effective at processing large amounts of experimental or calculated data in order to characterize an unknown quantum system, making its application useful in contexts including quantum information theory, quantum technology development, and computational materials design. In this context, for example, it can be used as a tool to interpolate pre-calculated interatomic potentials, or directly solving the Schrödinger equation with a variational method.

In network science, the network entropy is a disorder measure derived from information theory to describe the level of randomness and the amount of information encoded in a graph.
