As a Ph.D. candidate at the Computer Science Department of Aalto University 🇫🇮, I am working on problems in Network Science. Specifically, I’m interested in modeling pharmaceutical and non-pharmaceutical interventions for epidemics and bridging the gap between the theory of temporal networks and non-equilibrium phase transition formalism.
I have an MS in Physics of Complex Systems and a BA in Solid State Physics. I’m a science writer and I write at sitpor.org (FA) where I am also the editor-in-chief. Know more about me, See my CV.

Great lectures on Modularity and Random Walks by @RenaudLambiotte.
Have you missed it?! Try his book or his recorded course at Oxford:

We call it the Khayyám-Pascal triangle in Iran. Around 1000 years ago, the Persian mathematician Al-Karaji (953–1029) wrote a now-lost book that contained the first description of Pascal's triangle, which was later repeated by the Persian polymath #Khayyam (1048–1131). https://t.co/MOnO9jus4p
