Graduated in Chemistry in 1993 at University of Palermo, in 1998 he obtained the Ph.D. in Chemistry at the same University, the title of the final thesis was: "Phase Separation in Multicomponent Mixtures" under the supervision of Prof. R. Triolo. The research project was partially carried out at the Computational Physics group of the Technical University of Delft (The Netherlands, supervisor : Prof. S. de Leuuw). In 1998 he had a postgraduate fellowship at the Physics and Astronomy department of University of Missouri (USA) working within a research project concerning the modelization of disordered systems for the SAXS (small angle x-ray) data analysis. From 2000 to 2004 he was a postgraduate fellow at the Physical Chemistry Department of the University of Palermo on a research project based on the Critical Micellization Density concept. From January 2005 is a faculty staff at the Physical Chemistry Department of the University of Palermo. His research has been mainly addressed to the modelization and analysis of neutron and x-rays scattering data to obtain structural properties of condensed matter systems (i.e polymer an copolymer solution in various solvents). His current interest are aimed at the study of structural and dynamical properties of ionic liquid systems by means of both experimental scattering techniques and classical molecular dynamics.
