Biography
I am a Reader in Data Science at the Department of Geography at University College London, where I lead the Intelligent Social System Lab. I received a PhD in Computer Science from University College London and a Laurea (roughly comparable to a 5-year MSci) in Electronic Engineering from the University of Bologna. I joined UCL in June 2015. I am also a Faculty Fellow of the Alan Turing Institute. Before joining UCL, I was a Reader (Senior Lecturer until February 2014) in Networked Systems and Data Science at the School of Computer Science at the University of Birmingham. From November 2009 to August 2011 I was a SICSA Lecturer at the School of Computer Science at the University of St Andrews. I did my postdoctoral work at Dartmouth College and at the University of Cambridge.

See LessResearch Summary
The focus of my work is on modelling human behaviour and dynamics in space and time, at different scales, using the "digital traces" we generate daily in our online and offline lives. I am interested in developing mathematical and computational models as well as implementing real-world systems based on them. I am particularly interested in modelling and analysis of mobile and social network data. At UCL, I lead the Intelligent Social Systems Lab. Current areas of interest of my lab include: analysis and modelling of big (and small) data related to human behaviour and social dynamics; ubiquitous and social computing; networked systems and network science. Application areas include healthcare (in particular mental health), security&privacy and data science for "social good".
