I am Professor in Applied Mathematics (Complex Systems) at the
School of Mathematical Sciences of QMUL,
and the scientific director of the
Lab for Complex Systems of Scuola
Superiore, University of Catania,
Italy. I am also involved in the new
Centre for Discrete Mathematics
at QMUL, and I am editor of the newly launched
Journal of Complex Networks. I study the structure and the
dynamics of complex systems. I use my
background as theoretical physicist
and some of the methods proper to
statistical physics and non-linear
dynamics to look into biological
problems, to model social systems, and
to find new solutions for the design
of man-made networks. I have
coauthored 3 edited volumes, 7 book
chapters and more than 100 scientific
publications, including papers in
Science, PRL, PNAS, and
a Physics
Report on complex networks. See
the complete list of my
publications
here
or from
Google Scholar. This is me at work, in one of
my main creative
research moments, and this is when
(and how) I try
to scare
students who want to work on
complex systems. If you are not
scared you can find a list of
inspiring papers here.
