With a background in Physics, I’m a big fan of Galileo Galilei’s method of questioning the facts. Currently, as a Ph.D. candidate at Dr. Mikko Kivelä‘s group, I’m working on modeling pharmaceutical and non-pharmaceutical interventions for epidemics and phase-transition problems in temporal networks.
