About me

As a Ph.D. candidate at the Department of Methodology and Statistics of Utrecht University, I bring a unique combination of statistical physics and complex systems knowledge to my research. I hold a Double M.Sc. degree in Physics of Complex Systems from both Politecnico di Torino and Université Paris Cité, and have developed a passion for Network Science and Computational Social Science. My research interests center around the modeling and analysis of complex social systems to uncover the patterns and mechanisms that drive collective behavior. Through the integration of advanced statistical methods and cutting-edge computational techniques, I strive to gain a deeper understanding of how individuals and their interactions shape the world around us.
