Short Bio

Aiwin T Vadakkan is a PhD student in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology at the University of Naples Federico II as a part of Marie Skłodowska-Curie Doctoral Network (MSCA-DN) action, named "BeyondTheEdge".

He graduated from the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER), Tirupati, India, with a BS-MS Dual Degree in July 2024. He has his major in Physics. For his master's thesis, he worked on "Emergent Dynamics and Transitions on Multiplex Networks" under the supervision of Prof. G Ambika of IISER Thiruvananthapuram.

In his current research, he would be working on the control of complex networks with higher-order interactions. His PhD project, "Analysis, Control and Applications of Networks with Higher-Order Interactions", is supervised by Prof. Mario di Bernardo and co-supervised by  Prof. Pietro De Lellis of the University of Naples Federico II.
