I was: Director of Synthsys the Centre for Synthetic and Systems Biology at Edinburgh in 2012-2013; external faculty member of the Santa Fe Institute (2007-2009), and visiting Professor at the Harvard Medical School (2006-2009) at the Fontana lab.

Research Interest

I work on clean and scaleable domain-specific modeling/programming languages, mostly, but not only, for systems and synthetic biology. I have a research interest in cross-disciplinary activities and convergence on algorithmic/mathematical structures for modelling (social systems, economical systems, climate, multi-scale plant growth, etc).
