In the latter university he has already been Chair of Psychology Department and of Inter-departmental Center for Cognitive Science. From long time he is member of the managing committee of the Italian Association for Systems Research. His research activities deal with Complex Systems, Computational Neuroscience, Theoretical Physics, Cognitive Science, Artificial Intelligence, Philosophy of Science. In particular, he gave a number of contributions to the theory of phase transitions and emergence processes as well as to a number of foundational problems of Quantum Field Theory. Among the applications of his theoretical achievements it is possible to mention, within the context of Cognitive Science, the building of a theory of consciousness, and of a model of depressive disorder. He is author or co-author of 10 books and of a number of papers on international journals. Moreover he acted as editor of a number of volumes collecting contributions to complexity science as well as referee for a number of international journals, ranging from International Journal of General Systems, Cognitive Neurodynamics, and Visual Cognition to International Journal of Theoretical Physics, Physics Essays, Cognitive Processing..
