    PostDoc opportunity If you’re a PhD student or young PostDoc interested in a “curiosity-driven, bottom-up research project” in my lab, the Ørsted Postdoc positions linked here are a great opportunity. Let me know, and we can consider designing a project together. And don’t forget, the Danish PostDoc salaries are great.

    Some years ago (…), I said that our networked future was bracketed by the dystopian nightmares of two old-Etonian novelists, George Orwell and Aldous Huxley. Orwell thought we would be destroyed by the things we fear, while Huxley thought that we would be controlled by the things that delight us. What Snowden has taught us…

    A couple of days I wrote (with Piotr Sapieżyński) about our influential Twitterbots [click here to read more]. We know the bots are great at getting followers, but what about other measures of influence? Today, on a whim, I checked the bots’ Klout scores, and was both surprised & impressed. I’m fairly certain that the bots…

    Note: This post is co-written with Piotr Sapieżyński Is it possible for a small computer science course to exert measurable influence (trending topics) on Twitter, a massive social network with hundreds of millions of users? The surprising answer to that question is “yes”.

    If you’re in Copenhagen, if you speak Danish, and if you’re not already an expert on networks, I’ve got a public lecture on Complex Networks coming up at the Danish Royal Academy.

    This morning, when I entered my office I was greeted by hundreds of Nexus 4 cases. Yesterday our team of hardworking,  thoughtful & highly intelligent grad students were wasting their years of education, doing sweat-shop level work at an undisclosed location in the greater Copenhagen area. Their task: rooting & flashing more than one thousand…

    For my summer reading I’m aiming to catch up on the classics. It’s all about finding the sweet spot of books that make you smarter, but aren’t too boring to bring to the beach. For me that’s usually an Elmore Leonard novel, or – if I can muster the discipline (and that pretty much never…

    New PhD student in my lab Piotr Sapieżyński has been working on creating a new logo/header for SensibleDTU and I think what we’ve ended up with is pretty awesome! The progression neatly illustrates the power of iteration. The idea for even updating the old header (shown below) originated from the image below that we found Tue…
