Hi there! My name is
Bijin Joseph

About Me

I'm currently a Physics PhD student at Northeastern University, Boston. I'm interested in using methods developed in Statistical Physics and Complex Systems to analyze and model Socio-Economic systems. I am working with Prof. Esteban Moro in the Social Urban Networks Lab at the Network Science Institute .
