 | Dr. Marta Sales-Pardo came to Northwestern University after having obtained a PhD in Physics from the Universitat de Bracelona (Spain) in 2002. In 2004, she obtained a Fulbright Scholarship for two years. In May 2008, Dr. Sales-Pardo became a Research Assistant Professor at Northwestern holding appointments at the Office for Research Team Support within NUCATS, the Northwestern Institute on Complex Systems, and the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering in the McCormick School of Engineering and Applied Science. Dr. Sales-Pardo is an expert in the modeling and analysis of complex systems using a statistical mechanics approach, including biological and social systems.
Within Research Team Support, Dr. Sales-Pardo is working in understanding how initiatives such as that of the CTSA are achieving their goal of stimulating the creation of new research partnerships with the aim of tackling basic medical problems that are at the interface between disciplines. The purpose of this research is to pinpoint the mechanisms responsible for the creation of new successful partnerships through the use of Science of Team Science tools, including social and complex networks analysis and agent-based modeling. |
