Three new researchers are joining the ISI Fellow program for 2019-2022.

Prof. Yamir Moreno, Deputy Director of Complex Networks & Systems at ISI Foundation has been recently awarded with the “Senior Scientific Award”granted by the Complex Systems Society (CSS) in recognition of his research career and his several contributions to the Science of Complexity.

Network Science has been very successful in providing simplified statistical mechanical descriptions of large complex systems. Topology, in particular computational and applied topology, has found large use in computer graphics, robotics, biology and chemistry.

The ISI Foundation is looking for exceptional candidates to join the Algorithmic Data Analytics research team, under the supervision of Dr. Francesco Bonchi.

The ISI Foundation is looking for excellent candidates at all level of seniority to join the Financial AI Lab, a mixed initiative between fundamental research performed at ISI Foundation and real-world business-driven challenges posed by Intesa Sanpaolo Group (the largest financial group in Italy, and 3rd largest in Europe).

The Conference on Complex Systems is the biggest and most important annual meeting of the international complex systems community. Organized by the Complex Systems Society, it has been Europe-based until 2015, when it debuted in North America at Tempe, Arizona (United States). 

Mutualistic interactions, those that are naturally beneficial for both interacting species, are recurrently found in ecosystems. Observations of natural systems show that if we draw mutualistic relationships as links between species, the resulting mutualistic network of interactions displays a widespread particular ordering called nestedness.

Many complex systems in physics, biology, neuroscience, engineering, and social science can be modeled as networks of interacting nodes. In many cases, each node is a dynamical system which evolves under the influence of the other nodes it is connected to in the network.

For the sixth year, the Mediterranean School of Complex Networks is exploring the wide variety of applications in which the network theory is revealed as a perfect instrument to model the structure of complex systems.

Predire (e cambiare) il futuro grazie alla scienza

From 2nd to 4th September, Zurich is hosting the third European Symposium on Societal Challenges in Computational Social Science. Held at the ETH Zürich campus, the event concludes a series of three yearly symposia: after «Inequality and Imbalance» (London 2017) and «Bias and Discrimination» (Cologne 2018), this year the focus is on «Polarization and Radicalization».

The One Health Center of Excellence at University of Florida and ISI Foundation, in Turin, Italy, are looking to fill a Master degree position in the area of Digital Epidemiology, focusing on the digital surveillance of public health-related issues and the communication around it. The work contributes to the ongoing efforts in disease tracking and public health-related monitoring using alternative sources of information, including participatory surveillance, social media, and other digital traces, as well as the tracking of potential misinformation. The appointed researcher will participate in the design and deployment of diverse activities, ranging from epidemiological studies to social media analytics tools, contributing to interdisciplinary work at the crossroads of epidemiology and Public Health, data science, and computational social science, under the supervision of Prof. <strong>Ilaria Capua</strong> (Director of the One Health Center of Excellence) and Dr. <strong>Daniela Paolotti</strong> (Research Leader at the Digital Epidemiology group, ISI Foundation).<br><br>

Topology describes relations and has long been a central concept in neuroscience. A Focus Feature in the Mit Press journal Network Neuroscience, co-curated by ISI Foundation Research Leader Giovanni Petri (as guest editor), offers a unified overview of the emerging field of topological neuroscience, showing its applications from macro- to microscales of the nervous system.

Though domestic dogs (Canis familiaris) are a social species and a reservoir for several zoonotic infections, few studies have empirically determined contact patterns within dog populations.

Are school-closure policies effective for mitigating seasonal and pandemic influenza? In a new study, an international team of scientists including ISI Foundation Researcher Maria Litvinova measured the behavior of the population during regular school days and when classes are closed as the consequence of an influenza mitigation policy.&nbsp;

Today afternoon at the plenary sessions of the XXXVII Reunión Bienal de la Real Sociedad Española de Física ISI Foundation President Mario Rasetti reviewed the motivations at the basis of the use of “Topological Data Analysis” (TDA) in data science.

ISI Foundation is joining SECS19 in Lipari, the third international workshop on Complex Networks from socio-economic systems to biology and brain, held in the Sicily island from 13th to 19th July.&nbsp;
