I was born in Bari (IT) on 17th August 1984. I received my Bachelor (2006) and Master (2008) Degrees in Computer Engineering from the Polytechnic of Bari and my PhD (2011) in Computational Biology and Bioinformatics from the University of Naples. In February 2012 I moved to MIT to join Roman Stocker’s Lab as Postdoctoral Research Associate. I’m currently working on modelling and control of bacterial behavioral traits.
