I carried out my undergraduate studies at the Department of Physics of the University of Cagliari (Italy), where I got my bachelor degree on September 23th, 2005,  with the mark of 110/110 cum laude,  presenting the thesis  Elastic diffusion: Born, Iconale and partial  waves approximations.

I got my master degree on Octber 23th , 2007 with  the mark of 110/110 cum laude,  presenting the thesis Diffusion processes and centrality measures in Complex Networks. 

In January 2008 I began my PhD studies at the Department of  Physics of the University of Cagliari in the field of  Complex Networks Science and Statistical Mechanics. I got my Ph.D. on January 11th, 2011 presenting the thesis Reaction-Diffusion processes on complex networks. 

During the period between 3/08 and 11/08 I worked with  COSMOLAB in the Research project Community Detection in Infrastructural Networks. 

From November 2008 till July 2009 I was Visiting Scholar at the Complex Networks group of the Indiana university in Bloomington, IN, USA.

From July 2009 till August 2011 I was Research Associate at the Center for  Complex Networks Systems Research of the Indiana university in  Bloomington, IN, USA. 

From September 2011 till August 2014 I was Post-Doctoral Research Associate at the Northeastern University in Boston, MA, USA.

From September 2014 till July 2015 I was Associate Research Scientist at the Northeastern University in Boston, MA, USA 

From August 2015 till August 2018 I was Senior Lecturer  in Network Science at the Business School of Greenwich University, London, UK

In 2017 I was nominated fellow of the ISI Foundation

From September 2018 till now  I serve as Associate Professor (Reader) in Network Science at the Business School of Greenwich University, London, UK
