My research combines computational and empirical approaches to understanding the impact of the network structure of socioeconomic systems on their functioning. Specifically, I focus on how such networks affect the dynamical processes underlying the spreading of information, diseases, opinions, and behaviors, and how these structures limit agents' decision-making process when they operate over a networked system and take actions over its elements.
I have a Bachelor's and Master's in Physics from the University of Lisbon (Portugal), and a Ph.D. in Physics from the University of Minho (Portugal). During my Ph.D., I collaborated closely with the GAIPS/INESC-ID in Lisbon. Also, I worked as a Visiting Graduate Student at the MIT Media Lab Macro Connections/Collective Learning Group, where I later joined as a Postdoctoral Associate (2016/18).
