PhD Student
I am a second-year CS PhD student co-advised by Dr. Emilio Ferrara and Dr. Luca Luceri. My research lies in the intersection of computer science and social science, recently focusing on large-scale agentic simulations of human behavior, measuring and modeling collective dynamics in social networks, and empirical studies on AI and the future of work.
