#acl chrisnic:read,write,delete,revert Default = Christos Nicolaides = {{attachment:me-01.jpg|Christos Nicolaides|class="align_right",width="300"}} == Postdoctoral Fellow == I completed my PhD at [[http://juanesgroup.mit.edu|Juanes Research Group]] in the [[http://cee.mit.edu//|Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering]] at [[http://web.mit.edu//|MIT]]. I have bachelor degree in Physics from [[http://www.auth.gr/en|University of Thessaloniki]] and a master degree in Applied Mathematics from [[http://www3.imperial.ac.uk|Imperial College London]]. My research interests focus on characterizing dynamical processes in complex networks including physical transport, epidemic spreading and reaction-diffusion systems. Possible real world applications include agents and diseases spreading, the design of optimal mitigation strategies against outbreaks and the analysis and predictability self-organized patterns formation in complex socio-technical systems. My PhD research mainly funded by the [[http://vergottisfoundation.org/?lang=ENG|George and Marie Vergottis Foundation]].
