I studied Statistical Physics, and I work in the field of Complex Networks. I got my degree in 1992 in Rome (La Sapienza), my PhD in 1996 in Trieste (SISSA). After Postdocs in Manchester and Cambridge I became firstly research assistant in INFMand then Primo Ricercatore at ISC-CNR where I am still working with many friends and colleagues. Presently I am Professor in Physics at IMT Lucca, and a LIMS Fellow. My research interests are: Complex Networks, Scale-Invariance, Plants.
