<h1><i class="ph-duotone ph-lightbulb"></i> About</h1>
I'm a Ph.D. candidate under the supervision of <a
href="https://walterquattrociocchi.site.uniroma1.it/" target="_blank">Walter
Quattrociocchi</a> at <a href="https://cdcs.di.uniroma1.it/" target="_blank">CDCS</a>
(Sapienza University of Rome), with a background in Data Science (M.Sc.) and Physics (B.Sc.).
<br><br>
Currently, I'm visiting <a href="https://www.psychol.cam.ac.uk/staff/jon-roozenbeek"

My studies broadly align with what's known as <a href="https://doi.org/10.1126/science.1167742"

the study of social dynamics and emergent behavior online.

Some of my work has been discussed in news outlets and social media. Here are some links (mostly
in Italian):

I conduct all my analyses using R or Python. Lately, I've also been getting into Rust, thanks to
its promises of performance and safety as well as modern tooling and syntax. So far, it's lived
up to the expectations, though the syntax can get a bit cumbersome.
