I am doing a PhD in Physics at the University of Bologna, where I study the sequence of 1D DNA and its relationship with 3D structure in both humans and bacteria. To do this, I developed methods derived from statistical mechanics and graph theory. In Genigma I am contributing with this knowledge to prepare the data that will be sent to the players through the application and analyze the results that come out of the plays. The project also offers me the opportunity to learn citizen science, which I find absolutely fascinating.
