Wow. With all those superlatives in use for reason 1 and reason 2, I’m beginning to worry that the excitement of those posts might have the whole set of “Reasons to go to NetSci” posts peaking too soon. But we have so many good reasons to go – and only a few days left before…

Following up on past promises, here’s reason two that I think NetSci 2013 is going to excellent. Reason 2: The NetSci School This year, the NetSci school is going to be something special. So even if you’re not yet a bona fide network science insider who’s wise to inside jokes about Zachary’s Karate Club, NetSci 2013…

Ok, so this June we’re having the NetSci conference right here in Copenhagen. Registration is now open and the call for paper closes on March 15th. So in these last few days leading up to that deadline, I’m going to list some of what I think are the main reasons that you should dust off…

Earlier this year, I was lucky enough to be awarded a Villum Foundation Young Investigator grant. A couple of days ago the Foundation’s Annual Report came out [dk link, en link. note: this is a 10mb download], with a very nice cover that features graphics designed by yours truly. The cover art was created by…

Slowly but surely NetSci 2013 is coming to life! We’re now ready with the official call for satellite workshops. If you have an idea, don’t hesitate to send it to Philipp – we’re in the process of securing a great venue for the workshops, close to the NetSci school. Come to think of it, I think I…

Another great guest is visiting my group this week: Conrad Lee. Conrad has been writing consistently superb blog posts over at http://sociograph.blogspot.com for quite a while now (I highly recommend checking out his back catalog, which contains insightful analysis of issues related to community detection in complex networks and much more). And he’s interested in many of the…

This week, we have another exciting guest, Bruno Gonçalves (twitter: @bgoncalves) will be visiting the lab Monday 24th of September, and Tuesday the 25th. Bruno has just moved to the university at Aix-Marseille University, from Alex Vespignani’s group at Northeastern and we’re excited to have him. Bruno is giving a talk Monday at 11 – I highly…

This week, we’ll have two exciting visitors. Sebastian Ahnert will be visiting on Wednesday, speaking on Compressible components reveal network architectures. On Thursday we’ll change gears and discuss mobility, modelling, and sensing. For that we’re lucky to have Cecilia Mascolo and her postdoc Neal Lathia visiting, speaking on How can sensor data be used to infer how people feel? If…

So catching up on recent developments, a big item from last month is that I made the cover of the local university paper DTU avisen – with nice photos and everything. The best version of the article is only available in Danish [find it here]. Due to a bit of last minute editorial changes, a…

Just a quick post to note that I’m in Boston and will be around for much of the summer (the rest of July and the first part of August). I arrived a bit over a week ago, but have been too busy to update the blog – I guess better late than never. In fact…
