Shoggoths and Dragons
Metaphors can be a support system for thinking. By finding the right analogies, we can map the complex unknown onto something familiar. And, in turn, that can help us better understand the complex unknown.
You have arrived at Sune Lehmann's site. I (Sune) am a Professor of Networks and Complexity Science at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU), and also a Professor of Social Data Science at the University of Copenhagen. A physicist by training, my research uses massive datasets and methods from complex systems, machine learning, and network science to understand human behavior — from how we move through cities to how information spreads online. I'm a member of the Royal Danish Academy of Sciences and Letters and Chief Scientist at the Danish National Center for AI in Society (CAISA).
If you are a student interested in working with me, please start by taking a look at my For Students page.
