I'm a PhD student in the Network, Architectures and Services group since November 2019. I am working on various projects related to the spread of infectious processes on networks. I am primarily interested in exact or approximate mathematical treatments of the Susceptible-Infected-Suceptible (SIS) model on static and adaptive networks, both for Markovian (stochastic) models and mean-field (deterministic) models.
