About me
I am a physicist, and I got my degree at the university of Rome Sapienza and my Ph.D. at the University of Bologna. After spending about 10 years between the University of Geneva, the Sorbonne Université in Paris and the Institute for Complex Systems in Rome, I become researcher in 2010 and then research director in 2020 at the Enrico Fermi Research Center in Rome. In 2025 I was awarded of the title of honorary professor at the Institute of Technology of Sumatra (Indonesia). My research activity includes statistical physics of complex astrophysical and cosmological systems, self-gravitating systems, galactic kinematics and dynamics. Beyond my professional publications, I am author of several books about the problem of higher education and academic research in Italy and abroad and more generally about science and politics. I write comments on several Italian dailies (mostly on Il Fatto Quotidiano). In English you may follow My Substack
