I was born in Cagliari (Italy), on November 28th, 1983. I carried out

 my undergraduate studies at the Department of Physics of the 

University of Cagliari (Italy), where I got my 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 ". I got my 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 I began my PhD studies at the Department of 

Physics of the University of Cagliari in the field of  Complex 

Networks Science and Statistical Mechanics. I got my Ph.D. on January 11th, 

2011 presenting the thesis "Reaction-Diffusion processes on complex

 networks".

During the period between 3/08 and 11/08 I worked with 

COSMOLAB in the Research project "Community Detection in 

Infrastructural Networks"  .

From November 2008 till July 2009 I was Visiting Scholar at the 

Complex Networks group of the Indiana university in Bloomington, 

IN, USA.

From July 2009 till August 2011 I was Research Associate at the Center for 

Complex Networks Systems Research of the Indiana university in 

Bloomington, IN, USA.

From September 2011 till now I am Research Associate at the Northeastern
