Research
In a few words: I have been interested in applications of complex networks and machine learning in data science and "web intelligence" (personalisation and optimisation problems), such as social network analysis and recommender systems.Â
More recently: focused on child & adolescent mental health, social-cognitive and developmental psychology.
In the past: fundamental research in theoretical physics (complex quantum systems, quantum optics, condensed matter physics and quantum information science). My work in theoretical physics can be found here.
