I am an Associate Professor at the UCL Department of Computer Science. I graduated in Physics at the University of Pavia (Italy), where I also obtained a Ph.D. in Theoretical Physics in 2011. Before joining UCL in 2014, I have been a Postdoctoral Fellow for three years at the Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics in Trieste (Italy). From 2016 to 2021 I have been an EPSRC early career fellow.


My research interests concern interdisciplinary applications of methods from Statistical Physics to the quantitative analysis of socio-economic systems. In particular, my main ongoing research activity seeks to investigate the determinants of user reputation and trust in online peer-to-peer platforms and marketplaces.
