I have a background in theoretical physics and during my PhD, I worked under the supervision of Federico Battiston and Michele Starnini on various projects concerning higher-order networks, which model systems where interactions occur within groups rather than just pairwise.
My research has a strong theoretical focus on network science, particularly on the structure and emergent properties of networks with group interactions, as well as on dynamic processes occurring on these networks. In this context, I have explored rare events and dynamic fluctuations in processes on higher-order networks.
From an applied perspective, I am also interested in leveraging higher-order networks for applications in neuroscience. Specifically, during my PhD, I contributed to a project combining algebraic topology and higher-order networks to improve surgical interventions for epilepsy patients.
