My main area of research is the study of collective phenomena mediated by social interactions and mobility. I organize my research along three main lines, including network theory, social systems and ecological systems. My research is characterized by the combination of data analysis and modeling in order to advance both the understanding of the connection between basic microscopic mechanisms and emergent phenomena from a fundamental perspective, and in the development of models that incorporate details closer to the description of the real world. I am also interested in transferring concepts and methodologies across different fields (e.g. from statistical physics to the life sciences). A signature of my record is the interdisciplinarity which is reflected in the collaborations and the journals where I have published. You can check my CV here.
