Federico Battiston

Assistant Professor at the Department of Network and Data Science at Central European University in Budapest. I use my background in statistical physics and network science to investigate and try to solve problems in biology, urban systems and the social sciences. Within the broad domains of networks and complexity science, I am particularly interested in higher-order systems, multilayer networks, human behavior, nonlinear dynamics on networks, evolutionary game theory and computational social science. I am an elected member of the council of the Complex Systems Society (October 2015 - ), and a former Chair (October 2016 - October 2017) and elected member of the advisory board of the Young Complex Systems Society (March 2016 - January 2018). I will chair NetSci2023 in Vienna. My previous highly interdisciplinary life (reverse chronological order): Research Fellow at the Department of Network and Data Science at Central European University in Budapest; Research Associate at the Department of Anthropology at University College London; Research Engineer (CNRS) at the Brain and Spine Institute in Paris; PhD Student in Applied Maths at Queen Mary University of London (also part of the Complex Systems and Networks group, under the supervision of Vito Latora, and a member of the EU-FP7 LASAGNE project on the structure and dynamics of multilayer networks); Student in Physics (BSc) and Statistical Physics (MSc) at Sapienza University of Rome.
