Human Behavior in Complex Environments

Research

My research focuses on the study of human behavior in complex environments. I use mathematical and computational models to understand the mechanisms involved in generating behavioral patterns and a range of computational methods that seek learn features of behavioral systems from real-world data. Current research examines crime patterns in space and time and the interaction between online and offline behavioral systems.
