I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Supply Chain Intelligence Institute Austria (ASCII), where I study the stability and dynamics of international supply networks. Trained in statistical physics, I use network science and data-driven modeling to uncover structure in complex data and translate it into practical insight.
I see science as the pursuit of simplicity that makes the world more comprehensible. Newton’s law of gravitation showed that the fall of an apple and the motion of the Moon follow the same principle. Likewise, understanding a complex system means uncovering a simple structure that captures its essential behavior and draws the complexity of the world within the reach of human comprehension.
I have applied this perspective to diverse problems, including stability and shock propagation in supply chains, synchronization in power grids, correlation patterns in climate systems, and energy transport in photosynthetic networks. My current work focuses on the economic and systemic behavior of global supply chains, and I am always open to new ideas and collaborations across disciplines.
