Profile
I received my PhD in physics at the University of Debrecen, after which I was a postdoctoral research associate at the School of Materials of the University of Manchester, working in crystal plasticity modelling. I then switched fields to graph theory and network science, and worked as a postdoctoral research associate and later as an independent research fellow (through a Portuguese FCT CEECIND grant) at the University of Aveiro. I joined the University of Leeds in June 2024 as a research fellow to work on a Leverhulme project about approximating dynamics on networks.
Research interests
My research primarily focuses on complex systems, particularly as it pertains to networks and social dynamics. I use concepts and methods from statistical physics, probability and graph theory to solve problems in topics such as percolation theory, network inference, opinion dynamics and network epidemiology.
