Research Experience
  • Deputy Head of the Centre for Complex Systems in the School of Mathematical Sciences at QMUL; has led several research projects such as EU LASAGNE (2012-15), EPSRC GALE (2013-16), EPSRC LoBaNet (2016-2019), a Research Fellowship from the Leverhulme Trust (2019-20), and a NERC project on ecological systems (2024-27).
Background
  • Professor of Applied Mathematics, Chair of Complex Systems, and Deputy Head of the Centre for Complex Systems in the School of Mathematical Sciences at QMUL. He is an editor of the Journal of Complex Networks, a Professor of Physics at the University of Catania, and External Faculty of the Complexity Hub Vienna. His research focuses on the structure and dynamics of complex systems, using his background as a theoretical physicist and methods from statistical physics and non-linear dynamics to explore biological problems, model social systems, and find new solutions for designing man-made networks.
