It was a great experience to share these ideas in a fun and relaxed setting! Huge thanks to everyone who came — friends, my lab, and everyone who stayed to chat afterward! 🙌 #PintOfScience #UrbanInequality #MobilityData #ComplexSystems

I shared some early insights from my current project (coming soon to arXiv), and linked it to our work on mobility-based socioeconomic (SE) preferential behavior:

I started with Schelling’s model of segregation to show how even small individual preferences can lead to collective segregation. 🧩

But we don’t spend all our time at home — we commute 🚶, shop 🛒, meet friends ☕...

So how does our daily routine shape exposure inequalities beyond where we live?

We worked on an agent-based network model simulating COVID-19 spread in Catalonia using demographic, mobility, and health data. 🦠

A big thanks to Martine Bosman for her guidance and to all collaborators on this work!

In this work, we explore how the combined effects of pairwise and higher-order interactions influence species coexistence.

💡 Key takeaway: Higher-order interactions alone are not always enough to maintain stable coexistence — species’ physiological rates and network structure matter.
