I’m currently a Doctoral Researcher at the Computer Science Department of Aalto University in Finland. My research interests revolve around Network Science, Computational Social Science, and Statistical Physics. More specifically, I am exploring ways to model interventions for epidemics and bridging the gap between the theory of temporal networks and non-equilibrium phase transition formalism. I hold an MS in Physics of Complex Systems and a BS in Solid State Physics. I am also a science writer and serve as the editor-in-chief for the science blog sitpor.org (FA). You can read more about me here.
