About Me
Personal Information
Hola, I'm Miguel! I am a M.Sc. student in Data Science at the Sapienza University of Rome and a Data Scientist at Vivanta. I am very passionate about Social Networks and Data-Driven Modeling of Complex Phenomena. I am currently interested on several areas of research such as Opinion Dynamics, Information Diffusion, Inequality on Networks, Mobility Patterns, Graph Neural Networks and other interesting stuff.
In the past few years I completed my B.Sc. in Physics at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) and completed an extra-curricular research internship at the Complex Systems Institute at Ghent University in Belgium studying the dynamics of opinion formation in Social Networks.
In my spare time I enjoy watching almost any sport and playing Squash. When I was younger I used to represent my country in international tournaments and I was part of the Mexican National Team.
My Name
My full name consists of 4 names: 2 first names (Miguel Ángel) and 2 last names (Sánchez Cortés). This is common in Latin American countries (such as Mexico, my home country) and Spain. In future publications, you will find me as Miguel Á. Sánchez-Cortés in order to avoid confusion with too many names. For personal matters, you can call me Miguel!
