PhD in Applied Mathematics
VU University Amsterdam
Research at the intersection of probability theory, network science, and applied statistics.
- Markov chain methods for networked systems
- Random walks with edge weights and their optimization
- Probabilistic models for infrastructure failure analysis
- Quasi-stationary distributions and opinion dynamics
2024 — 2025
MSc in Econometrics and Operations Research
VU University Amsterdam
Specialization in Operations Research Theory, thesis titled "A Fundamental Approach to the Kemeny Constant, and the Mean and Variance of the First Passage Times in Time-Weighted Markov Chains"
2020 — 2024
BSc in Mathematics
