About Me

David Abella Pint of Science Session

I am David Abella Bujalance, currently a PhD student and researcher at IFISC, in Palma de Mallorca, Spain. My research focuses on applying complex systems physics to social and urban issues, including housing market dynamics, urban segregation, and collective behavior. My work includes studying human activity patterns and emergent urban structures, via data driven tools, network science and statistical physics.
