I am a Ph.D. student in Technology and Social Behavior, a joint program in computer science and communications at Northwestern University. My research, supervised by Ágnes Horvát, develops network-based machine learning tools to enhance crowd-aware system design. My previous research developed computational methods for harnessing social signals to inform peace processes implementation and monitoring in Colombia. Funded by the U.S. Army Research Lab (ARL) and National Science Foundation (NSF), this work was a collaboration between the University of Notre Dame’s Kroc Institute for International Peace Studies and the Interdesciplinary Center for Network Science and Applications (iCeNSA).
