Senior Lecturer and Head of NASLAB

My research mainly involves modeling and analysis of Social Network Dynamics based on various social signals ranging from language use to patterns of online activity. I use Random Graphs, Complex Networks Analysis, Machine Learning and Natural Language Processing in the context of social interaction. I'm interested in large scale-data driven modeling of the processes in which language is shaping and shaped-by social dynamics. In particular, I'm interested in modeling social coordination, influence and contagion in social networks and in the political domain.
