I obtained a PhD in Physics in 2000 from Scuola
Normale Superiore (Italy)
with a dissertation on "Ground state structure and critical
behaviour of spin glasses", in good part completed during an
extended stay at University of California, Santa Cruz. I later did postdoctoral
research at University of California, San Francisco and Universite'
Paris-Sud, (Orsay). I am currently an Associate Professor in the
Department of Fundamental Physics at the University of Barcelona.
My non-biological research interests are
in the statistical physics of disordered systems, such as Coulomb glasses
and constraint satisfaction problems. I am also interested in the physics
of protein folding and in stochastic models of genetic and epigenetic
regulatory networks.
