Welcome to my place!
I hold an MSc in Data Science, mapping social networks with ML. I'm passionate about understanding the underlying principles of social systems. Among others, I focus on societal event forecasting and using data to understand human behavior. Despite my unique background, I've gained experience as a Data Scientist and aim to bridge connections through data.
My current professional roles allow me to pursue research in those areas that spark my curiosity, address pressing concerns, and fuel my passion for understanding.
​
I recently finished my Master's Thesis on Predictive Modeling of Dynamic Online Social Behavior using Dynamic Graph Neural Networks, trying to contribute in some way to the prediction of societal events.
