Given my mathematics background and my graduate studies in complex networks, I love trying to solve challenging problems. I like an open and stimulating work environment, which I take as an opportunity for studying and discovering new things in every subject.
I am generally very curious and I like to apply scientific methods to better understand and improve the world. However, I am a pragmatic person and love working with a goal in mind. My mathematical mindset always pushes me to look for efficient and elegant solutions to problems. I love numbers and big data. With my research I would like to make an impact in sustainability and societal challenges.
I am always open to new enthralling projects with the purpose of improving the world. My current research is about accessibility and socioeconomic inequalities in cities, and urbanism has become a passion.
