Claudio Altafini (LiU) and I have been awarded funding for the project Dynamics of Complex Socio-Technological Network Systems from ELLIIT, the Excellence Center at Linköping – Lund in Information Technology. The project spans over 5 years and funds two PhD students.
Our goal is to use data and dynamical models in order to understand the mechanisms by which sociologically relevant macroscopic collective behaviors can emerge from microscopic (i.e., individual-level) interactions.
