Hello! I am a Research Assistant Professor at the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University, where I work with Prof. Dashun Wang.
I develop first-principles mathematical models to explain large-scale empirical patterns in complex systems. My research focuses on technological progress and urban infrastructure, combining mechanism-based theory with large-scale data to uncover scaling laws, thresholds, and structural transitions.
I have a background in Mathematics, and I completed my Ph.D. in Informatics at Indiana University Bloomington in 2024, in the Complex Networks and Systems track. During my Ph.D., I worked with Filippo Radicchi and Santo Fortunato on problems in network science, including epidemic spreading, transportation, and the organization of complex systems.
Outside of research, I spend much of my time playing table tennis. You can find more on this on the About Me page.
