Aarathi Parameswaran

Hi! I am a first year Ph.D. student of Informatics at Indiana University, at the Center for Complex Networks and Systems in the Luddy School of Informatics, Computing and Engineering. I am currently supervised by Prof. Filippo Radicchi as a part of the Radicchi-Fortunato lab and I work on transportation networks, studying road networks and bridges in the US. My research interests lie in Network Science, Complex Systems, and their applications across different systems.

I received my Master’s in Physics at the Bonn-Cologne Graduate School of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Bonn in Germany, where I completed my master’s thesis on optimal networks supervised by Prof. Dr. Dirk Witthaut as a part of the Energy Networks and Complex Systems Group at Forschungszentrum Jülich and the University of Cologne.

Prior to that, I received my Bachelor’s in Physics with interdisciplinary studies in Media and Politics at Azim Premji University in Bangalore, India. I specialized in nonlinear dynamics and my undergraduate thesis was on Taylor-Couette flow supervised by Dr. Kaustubh Manchanda.
