I am a PhD researcher in Physics of Complex Systems at Universitat de Barcelona Institute of Complex Systems (UBICS), supervised by Dr. Josep Perelló and Dr. Miquel Montero. Additionally, I am also a visiting research scientist at the Complexity Science Hub Vienna (CSH) and a member of the Computational Social Science and Network Inequality group led by Dra. Fariba Karimi.
I graduated in Physics at University of Barcelona (UB) in February of 2019. To pursue the interest in studying systems comprised of numerous interacting components, I completed a master’s degree in Complex Systems Physics at the University of the Balearic Islands (UIB). My primary research during the master’s thesis allowed me to explore the effects of control limitations on power grid fluctuations from the perspective of complex systems.
Currently, I am a PhD candidate at the Universitat de Barcelona, conducting research on “Statistical Physics for cities: Stochastic models and public experiments,” supported by a Spanish Ministry FPI grant. My research involves exploring agent-based models, stochastic processes, and continuous-time random walks formalisms to raise new mathematical formulations addressing issues related to inequalities, segregation, mobility, and welfare in cities. This endeavor is closely tied to leveraging statistical physics tools and approaches, such as those associated with phase transitions.
Furthermore, my research interests in the CSH have focused on investigating social geographic segregation patterns among diverse migrant populations in Vienna through the application of complex networks, clustering and stochastic algorithms driven by real datasets to enhance comprehension of cultural homophily and income disparities in urban areas.
Throughout my education, I had the opportunity to undertake a research internship at the Condensed Matter Department of the University of Barcelona. Under the guidance of Dr. David Reguera, I conducted a molecular dynamics simulation to explore the theory of heterogeneous nucleation of nanoparticles. It’s worth noting that my educational pursuits extend beyond physics. I have dedicated part of my life to completing various online Data Science courses and gaining industry experience through several years of work.
