Germans Savcisens

I am the Postoctoral Associate Researcher at the Khoury College of Computer Science at Northeastern University: I am a part of the Rad Lab and Network Science Institute. My research focuses on enhancing the transparency and fairness of machine learning algorithms used in network science, with a particular interest in mitigating biases in algorithms that model human behavior and social interactions.

I recieved my PhD in Computational Social Science from the Technical University of Denmark (Social Complexity Lab), where I focused on using foundation models to study individual socioeconomic and health trajectories (I am the first author of the life2vec paper).

I was born and raised in Latvia, where I spent the first 19 years of my life. I later moved to Copenhagen, Denmark, to pursue and complete my higher education. Currently, I am based in Boston, USA.
