Senior Scientist at ETH Zürich

Working at the interface of Complexity & Data Science

Complexity Science

selected research

Complexity science (complex systems) studies systems and problems that are composed of many components which may interact with each other in a dynamic and non-linear way.

In particular, I am interested in interactions, described with the complex networks framework.

Data Science

selected research

Data science uses methods & algorithms from statistics, machine learning and other disciplines to extract insights from data. In particular, I am interested in machine learning for Financial Complex Systems and applications to FinTech and high frequency finance.
