✨ My Github intro in short ✨

• 👋 Say Hi

  Hey there! Welcome to my intro page here on Github!

• 🧍 Who I am

  I’m Giuseppe, I am a Postdoctoral researcher at Tilburg University and I have recently completed my PhD in the same university.

• 👀 What my research interests are

  I’m interested in understanding social phenomena as well as biological processes, coding, code optimization in algorithms, modeling, optimization problems in statistical and probabilistic models. I study relational event networks (read here the first paper about REM) and investigate the presence of time-dependent dynamics of past interactions among actors on the imminent future. I have already contributed to the literature on REM with a semi-parametric and a parametric method which both answer (in different ways) the question of how much a past social interaction weighs on an actor's rate of interaction when such actor is undertaking its next (future) action.

• 🌱 What I am learning

  I’m currently learning the limits and the potentials of time-sensitive extensions of the REM which might help a researcher to estimate time-related dynamics of specific behavioral patterns observed in a time-to-event sequence of social interactions. I am also very much into learning the potential of C/C++ and its libraries in interfacing with the machine in order to minimize the high cost in computational burden and storage required by the computation of statistics in REM.
