Research Fellow
The University of Melbourne
I am a researcher and applied scientist with a strong background in applied mathematics, statistical and computational physics, specializing in critical phenomena, stochastic processes, growth dynamics, and network modeling. My work bridges theory and computation, focusing on analyzing chaotic, nonlinear, and non-equilibrium dynamics in complex systems.
By integrating advanced computational techniques, including machine learning, I analyze and model large-scale data across physical, biological, ecological, and artificial systems. My multidisciplinary approach connects theoretical insights with practical applications, enabling me to address complex, nonlinear challenges and develop innovative solutions for industry and technology (see some of my projects).
My Experience and Interests:
Data Science & Machine Learning
Leveraging cutting-edge statistical methods and machine learning algorithms to extract meaningful patterns and insights from complex datasets. I have applied these skills in industrial settings, designing and optimizing machine learning pipelines using LangChain and OpenAI for tasks such as XML processing, intelligent data generation, and automated decision-making. I also developed AI models for step-by-step math solutions, improving accuracy and user engagement by enhancing interpretability and adaptive learning. My expertise spans deep learning, probabilistic modeling, and reinforcement learning, enabling robust and scalable AI-driven solutions.
Theoretical Physics
Utilizing methods from fluid dynamics, non-equilibrium thermodynamics, quantum mechanics, and statistical physics to investigate fundamental mechanisms underlying critical phenomena and self-organized systems in nature. My expertise includes stochastic processes, random walks, percolation theory, renormalization group methods, and Ising models. I apply these concepts to study emergent properties in complex systems, from quantum to classical regimes.
Biological Systems Modeling
Applying mathematical and computational techniques to study biological dynamics, from individual behavior to large-scale ecological interactions. My research includes agent-based modeling of pheromone-guided navigation, adaptive evolutionary strategies, and self-organized biological systems. By integrating statistical physics and machine learning, I analyze biological datasets to uncover fundamental principles governing collective behavior, pattern formation, and resilience in natural systems.
Network Modeling
Exploring the structure, dynamics, and evolution of complex networks, with applications ranging from communication and transportation systems to social, ecological, and artificial intelligence networks. My work involves developing graph-based algorithms and statistical models to understand emergent behaviors, cascading failures, and robustness in interconnected systems.
Industrial & Research Development
Bridging academic research and industrial applications by developing computational models that drive innovation. I thrive in interdisciplinary environments, applying scientific problem-solving to real-world challenges in sectors such as finance, healthcare, and environmental science. My experience includes collaborating with cross-functional teams to integrate AI, simulation, and optimization techniques for practical implementation.
Educator & Communicator
Passionate about teaching and knowledge-sharing, I have experience in academic instruction, mentoring, and presenting complex technical concepts to diverse audiences. I enjoy translating mathematical and computational insights into accessible narratives, fostering collaboration between researchers, engineers, and decision-makers. My ability to convey technical knowledge effectively has been instrumental in both academia and industry, helping bridge the gap between theory and application.
