Manlio De Domenico

He was born in Messina in 1984. He got his Ph.D in Nuclear and Astroparticle physics from the University of Catania and the Scuola Superiore di Catania in 2012, proposing a data-driven model for the propagation of Ultra-High Energy Cosmic Rays (UHECR) in a magnetized Universe and a multiscale approach to analyze their anisotropic distribution at Earth,[4] with visiting scholarships at the Institute for Nuclear Theory[5] of the University of Washington and the Institut de physique nucléaire d'Orsay.

He held postdoctoral positions (2012-2013) at the School of Computer Science of the University of Birmingham (UK), and (2013-2016) at the University of Rovira i Virgili (Spain). In 2016 he has been a visiting scholar at the Max Planck Institute for the Physics of Complex Systems. From 2016 to 2018 he hold the “Juan de la Cierva” senior fellowship at the University of Rovira i Virgili. Since 2018 he directs the Complex Multilayer Networks (CoMuNe) Lab[6] founded at the Fondazione Bruno Kessler.

He has published more than 150 scientific papers,[7] with interdisciplinary contributions in computational social science, network epidemiology, network neuroscience, network medicine and systems biology. Notable works include the tensorial formulation of multilayer structure and dynamics,[3][8] applications to community structure[9] and coupling of human behavior with epidemic spreading,[10] network geometry,[11][12] network entropy for multiscale analysis of the interplay between structure and dynamics,[13] percolation and network robustness to perturbations,[14][15][16] Infodemic.[17][18]

His collaborators include Alex Arenas, Sylvie Briand, James Cronin, Shlomo Havlin, Vito Latora, Yamir Moreno, Mason Porter and Alan Andrew Watson.
