About Me

Holding a Ph.D. in statistical physics, I’ve explored the realms of complex systems, big data analysis, and machine learning. My primary focus lies in generative neural networks, and I’ve contributed to various optimization and inference solutions. I’m also behind the CityChrone urban science platform.
