Simon Syga

Simon Syga has a background in physics, specializing in biophysics during his MSc. During the COVID-19 pandemic, he focused on epidemiology and science communication. In his PhD, which he received in Mathematics, he investigated the impact of heterogeneity on tumor evolution using agent-based mathematical models. He is the author of a Python package for cellular automaton simulations.
