I recently defended my PhD thesis on emergent group-level organization across different social systems 🎉 Thanks to my advisor @fede7j, all my collaborators, the examiners, and everyone at @dnds_ceu ! I’ll continue working with @fede7j as a postdoc for the next two years.

Our paper "On Universality of Deep Equivariant Networks" will appear at ICLR 2026. We show that appropiate depth or readout layers are enough to reach universality up to the separation constraint imposed by the architecture, e.g., WL for IGNs. arxiv.org/abs/2510.15814
