the University of Barcelona (UB). He got his PhD in Physics with honors at the Uni-

versity of Naples (1998) and was Associate Researcher at the University of Roma Tre,

the Boston University, the Second University of Naples, and the Center for Statistical

Mechanics and Complexity of “La Sapienza” University of Rome, before moving to

Barcelona in 2003. Since 2002 he is Visiting Professor at the Boston University Center

for Polymer Studies. He has been Visiting Scientist at UFRGS Porto Alegre, Centre

Spain and since 2014 is member of the International Advisory Board of the European

Molecular Liquids Group.

At UB he is coordinator of the Condensed Matter line of the PhD in Physics,

Professor of the Master of Advanced Physics and in the Master of Computational

Science, Professor of Physics and Professor of Biomedical Engineering. He supervised

7 Master theses and 13 PhD theses at UB, at Boston University and UFRGS. He is PI

in European, Spanish and Catalan projects, with cumulative funds for more than 2

millions e. He organized 15 international conferences and chaired 8 in the last 9 years,

on subject including Physical Biology and Molecular Biophysics. He is editor of two

and referee for 34 international journals —including PNAS, PlosOne, PRL, JCP—and for

12 international grant agencies (NSF-US, EPSRC-UK, SNSF-CH, NRF-SG ...).

His research focuses on complex liquids and the role of water in nanoscopic and

biological systems. He uses theoretical calculations and numerical simulations, often

collaborating with experimental groups.

He made 81 peer-reviewed publications, including book chapters, with 64 papers

in international scientific journals, and gave 92 Invited Talks. He edited “Aspects of

Physical Biology: Biological Water, Protein Solutions, Transport and Replication”

(Springer 2008) and published in high-impact journals such as Nature, PNAS, PRL

and Sci Rep with three of his papers listed among the Highly Cited Papers in Physics,

and two in the Core Papers in Liquid-Liquid Phase Transition ... Supercooled Water

of the last years2. He was cited more than 2800 times with H-index 31 on Google

Scholar with citations on Science, Nature, PNAS, PlosOne, PRL, Sci Rep, receiving

Research Activities

Research Topics

1992 - 1998: Clusters in spin glassesTheoretical study of noble metal alloys with magnetic impurities, thatturns out to be the paradigm of slow systems as consequence of theabundance of metastable states.Research on:

a: Efficient Cluster Monte Carlo dynamics.

b: Invasion Percolation (Self Organized Criticality) Monte Carlo dy-namics.

Research articles in colaboration with: V. Cataudella (6), R.Chirone (1), A. Coniglio (6), M. Nicodemi (4), P. Salatino (1), A. Scala(4) (Universita “Federico II”, Napoli).Production: 4 Peer-Reviewed Research Articles (PRL, PRE) + 3Conference Proceedings.

1996 - 2000: Frustrated Percolation and Glass TransitionTheoretical approach with Monte Carlo methods and Frustrated Per-colation to the dynamics and thermodynamics aspects of the GlassTransition.

a: Geometrical characterization of the Frustrated Percolation.

b: Study of the precursor phenomena of the Glass Transition.

c: Analysis of the Potts Spin Glass and role of the Griffiths’ Tem-perature.

Research articles in colaboration with: A. Coniglio (5), A. deCandia (2), A. Fierro (2) (Universita “Federico II”, Napoli).Production: 7 Peer-Reviewed Research Articles (PRE, JPA) (with 2single-author papers).

1998 - 2005: Solid State Complex MaterialsWe consider: (1) Superconducting Josephson’s Junctions and the study

28


of the proximity effect under the effect of a magnetic field at low temper-ature, and analysis of the induced next-nearest-neighbors frustration.We found a new reentrant Kosterliz - Thouless - Berezinskii phase tran-sition. (2) Kondo effect in metal nanoparticles, with a Quantum MonteCarlo study of the parity effect due to the electrons’ discrete energylevels in a metal nanoparticle. We studied how the Kondo effect, i.e.the magnetic susceptibility saturation of an impurity, changes underthese conditions. (3) Elastomagnetic systems, with a theoretical andexperimental study of the concentration effects in the linear responseof new compounds of magnetic microparticles dispersed in silicon. Ourgoal was to optimize the production and the application of these newcompounds.

Research articles in colaboration with: G. Ausanio (1), V. Catau-della (2) L. De Arcangelis (1), R. Fazio (3) V. Iannotti (1), S.E. Ko-rshunov (2), L. Lanotte (1), C. Luponio Jr. (1), R.

2000 - ongoing: Phase diagram of water and other anomalous liquidsWater, silica and other liquids establish a dynamic bond-network thatis related to their anomalies. I developed a model and I studied itsphase diagram with analytic and Monte Carlo methods, clarifying thatthe bond correlation implies the coexistence between two liquids withdifferent densities and the existence of a liquid-liquid critical point.

Rank among the Top Italian Scientists in the World

Ranked among the top Italian scientists in the World in any scientific field 9

Citation indices: H index = 29, V index = 2.12 (> 1 =success), M index = 1.38

The Hirsch’s citation index H (i.e. the number of publications with morecitations than their ranking in the list of most cited publications) is H=29 10.

The Vaidya’s V index is V=2.11. V>1 indicates a successful re-searcher 11.

The V index is calculated on the basis of the H index as follows.The Academic Age (number of years doing reserach) is NY =21.The Hirsc’s M index is M=H/NY =1.38 12.Number of hours devoted to teaching [see Fig.1 pag. 6] and administration

NT = 1075× 2 + NY × (365− 30)/7× 5× 2 = 12200The Proportion of time devoted to research (average over Academic Age)

is P=(NY × 1650−NT )/(NY × 1650)=0.65The Vaidya’s V index is V=H/(NY × P )=2.12

Average number of citations per author NC/NA=6.81.

Personal Contribution PC=[N1/NP + NP/NA + N∞/(4NP )]/[1 + NP/NA +1/4]= 57.8%: the Personal contribution corresponds to the % of the totalimpact of publications. The Personal contribution is calculated assigning toeach article a score 1 + 1/(NA/NP ) + 1/4, divided as folows: 1 for the 1stor 2nd author, 1/4 for the last author, 1/(NA/NP ) for any author (includingthe 1st and the last).

Personal Impact Factor PIF=NC/NP×PC=15.62.

The PIF should be compare with a reference IF in the field, such as thePhysical Review Letters IF=7.73.

Hence, my Personal Impact Factor is approximately 2 time the PhysicalReview Letters Impact Factor (PIF/IFPRL=2.02).
