Short tale:

I graduated from the Politecnico di Milano, Italy, in Electronics Engineering (M.Sc.). I conducted the research for the dissertation -- entitled: On the Application of ANFIS (Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System) to the single-trial Movement related Potential Analysis -- at the Technion (I.I.T.), Haifa, Israel. My advisors were Profs. G.F. Inbar and S. Cerutti.
In September 2000 I was a research fellow at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in theoretical Physics with Prof. Daniel J. Amit. In march 2002 I received a fellowship for PhD studies from the Bioengineering department at the Politecnico di Milano. From March 2003 to May 2005 I completed my doctoral studies at INI - Institute of Neuroinformatics at the ETH
Zurich, working with Profs. Rodney J Douglas and Stefano Fusi. In May 2005 I obtained the degree of PhD defending the thesis:The Functional Role of Noise in Neural Networks. Dynamics and Learning. My supervisor was Prof. Sergio Cerutti while my advisors were Profs. Giuseppe Baselli, Rodney J. Douglas, and Stefano Fusi.
From August 2005 to March 2007 I was a PostDoc at ETH Zurich working  with Prof. Stefano Fusi.
Since March 2007 I am PostDoc Research Fellow at the Center for Theoretical Neuroscience at Columbia University, New York.
