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 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 Prof. Filippo Radicchi and Prof. Santo Fortunato on problems in network science, including epidemic spreading, transportation, and the organization of networked systems.

Outside of research, I spend much of my time playing table tennis and enjoying its competitive and strategic aspects. You can learn more on the About Me page.
