My interests cover a wide variety of fields, from theoretical to experimental ones. I am mainly interested in complex systems and in exploring hidden patterns in real-world data (but I can not hide my love for purely theoretical physics). A (non-exhaustive) list of topics includes:

• Complex systems: complex networks, nonlinear time series analysis, nonlinear dynamics and chaos theory, stochastic processes, fluctuation theory, information theory, multifractals, turbulence
• Statistics: extreme value theory, statistics of correlated systems
• Physics: ultra high energy cosmic rays, cosmology, quantum field theory, particle physics

• PhD Nuclear and Astroparticle Physics, (2012, University of Catania, Italy)
• MSc Physics, Subnuclear class (2008, University of Catania, Italy)
• BSc Physics (2005, University of Catania, Italy)
