From 2018 to 2021, I was president of the Society of Complex Systems

In 2019, with other colleagues, we founded the Italian Society of Statistical Physics, a discipline in which I study applications to Network theory. Indeed, complex networks can give a quantitative description of many systems, which, so far, has been impossible, In particular, they can help manage large amounts of data. Thanks to these characteristics, although their development is a part of contemporary statistical physics, their applications are often interdisciplinary. These studies are part of a more considerable discipline known as complex systems theory. In these studies, I have published about 200 articles in international journals and three books (as of 2020).

In 2020, I was elected a member of the American Physical Society (APS Fellowship) "For major contributions to understanding the disorder effects in self-similar phenomena, particularly in real scale-free networks and theoretical models"

In 2020 I became member of Academia Europaea.

From 2024, I am the Director of the Institute of Complex Systems, CNR
