​About me
I am Dr. Giulia Pullano, a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Biology at Georgetown University, where I conduct research in the Bansal Lab under the mentorship of Dr. Shweta Bansal. My work focuses on modeling the geographical and local spread of infectious diseases by integrating behavioral data into mathematical frameworks to better understand disease transmission dynamics across scales.

I earned my Ph.D. in Public Health (specializing in Biomathematics) in 2021 from Sorbonne Université and INSERM, under the supervision of Dr. Vittoria Colizza. My doctoral research, sponsored by Orange Labs, investigated the relationship between epidemics and human mobility, leveraging mobile phone data from Orange to analyze movement patterns and their impact on disease spread.

Before that, I obtained a Master’s degree in Physics of Complex Systems from Università degli Studi di Torino in 2016 and a Bachelor’s degree in Physics from Università degli Studi di Roma "La Sapienza" in 2014.
