bio
Nicola is an associate professor since 2001. He holds a PhD (00) from Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya, advised by Maria Luisa Bonet and holds Italian habilitations as full professor in Mathematical Logic and Computer Science.
From 2005 Nicola is in Sapienza, now at DIAG (Dept. of Computer, Control and Management Engineering "A. Ruberti" ) in Rome. He teaches: Calculus, Mathematical Logic and Computational Complexity.
From 2001 to 2005 Nicola was associate professor at Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya, in Barcelona. Before 2001 he was a researcher at School of Mathematics of the Institute for Advanced Studies in Princeton and Postdoc at University of Toronto (2002-2003).
In 2015 and 2021 Nicola was visiting scientist at Simons Institute for Theory of Computing. UC-Berkeley and in 15 at Tokyo Institute for Technology.
