Biography

I am a researcher at the Gleb Wataghin Institute of Physics (IFGW) at UNICAMP in Brazil, where I will develop the project "Modeling, Analyzing, and Controlling Higher-order Networks," funded by the FAPESP Young Researcher Grant. My research focuses on understanding the general and specific features of dynamical processes in higher-order networks. In the context of this project, some fundamental questions are: What are the "natural" and general mathematical representations of higher-order networks? What are their structural and dynamical bounds? Can we control/observe these systems? How can we design efficient control schemes? In a broader sense, I am also interested in nonlinear dynamics and stochastic processes in complex networks and structured populations. More specifically, my research over the last few years has focused on epidemics and rumor spreading in hypergraphs and single- and multilayer systems. In addition, I am interested in the structural characterization of multilayer networks, mainly through spectral theory. If you need further information, please don't hesitate to contact me.
