I am a postdoc working with Prof. Dani Bassett at the University of Pennsylvania. I study complex systems and human behavior using ideas from information theory, statistical mechanics, and network science. I recently got my PhD in physics from the University of Pennsylvania, and in the fall I will begin a James S. McDonnell Foundation postdoctoral fellowship.
For more information, check out my Google scholar or Twitter.
