Winter Workshop on Complex Systems
Together with Matteo Cinelli and Burcu Tepekule, I am organizing the Winter Workshop on Complex Systems 2020.
I am a researcher interested in complex systems and complex networks. I am interested in interdisciplinary approaches and the development of new mathematical tools to answer social, biological and economic questions. My main research interests are the study of social media and their impact on society and the development of new methods to study networks and their dynamics.
I am an Assistant Professor in Quantitative Network Science at the Department of Mathematics in the Faculty of Science of the University of Zurich and a member of the Digital Society Initiative.
You can find a list of my publications on Google Scholar and more information about me here.
