I play with complex systems and networks. Software at network data sets and code at

I'm deactivating this account. Sad but not unexpected, as nothing goes commercial without being sold to a random idiot, sooner or later. Will be on Mastodon, as @[email protected]. Donate to your Mastodon administrators. Federation is the only solution to stupidity. GN

@pholme Color-scale could be the culprit? Also, random fluctuations in degree are known to produce those little centrality hot/cold spots. But in a RGR the differences in values should be small for most feasible values of the damping factor \alpha... My2Cents

@antirez Programming for the language's sake.... another recipe for disaster... :D

Our new paper on integrating network structure and metadata through random walks today in @ScienceAdvances https://t.co/Z7tQgyqZfY @AleixBassolas @m_rosvall @antoneri @QMULMaths

@_AlexArenas @royalsociety @SergioGomezJ @AleixBassolas Congrats guys!

[Alex Arenas @_AlexArenas]

Our new paper identifying congestion hot spots is out @royalsociety. It can be applied to dynamically adapt the capacity of road segments according to the flow of vehicles, or reduce congestion through hotspot pricing. Wt @SergioGomezJ and @AleixBassolas👇

@ccs2022 @fede7j @NeaveOClery Well deserved! Congrats @fede7j and @NeaveOClery AdMaiora!

[CCS2022 @ccs2022]

The Junior Award goes to Neave O’Clery and Federico Battiston!! Congratulations 🥳 #CCS2022

[Enzo KatolaZ Nicosia @KatolaZ]

@ccs2022 Congrats to all, and especially to @AleixBassolas, whom I have had the chance to work with. AdMaiora!

[CCS2022 @ccs2022]

Last day of #CCS2022 starts with the society awards! This year the Emerging Researcher award goes to Aleix Bassolas, Michelle Feng and William Gilpin! Congratulations 🎉

@masonporter hehehehe! I do "The Great Programming Bake-off" in my MSc classes, and we also have the "Programmer of the Week" award in tutorials. @masonporter does it means we all should consider a TV career instead? 😜

[Enzo KatolaZ Nicosia @KatolaZ]

@santo_fortunato @IUNetSci @IULuddy Congrats Santo! Well deserved! AdMaiora!

Our paper on using random walks and first passage times to assess urban segregation was covered by PNAS Journal Club this week https://t.co/VERuna3CKC @sandrofsousa @NatureComms @QMULMaths

@robysinatra @nerdsitu @CPH_SODAS Congrats Roby! AdMaiora!

[Enzo KatolaZ Nicosia @KatolaZ]

Our "Quantifying ethnic segregation in cities through random walks" with @sandrofsousa out today in @NatureComms https://t.co/q4ospHCLaX

Have a look to discover how random walks help detecting and quantifying heterogeneity and correlations in cities at all scales.

[Enzo KatolaZ Nicosia @KatolaZ]

What is the best way to deploy contact-tracing apps for optimal disease containment? Find it out in our latest paper with @AleixBassolas @andreasantor0 @sandrofsousa and Silvia Rognone out today on @PhysRevResearch

So true, my dear Mason. If only more of our "colleagues" agreed with this simple principle...

[Mason Porter @masonporter]

Here's a Fun Fact (& not a very common view at research-oriented universities, it seems): If you aren't a good mentor & aren't a good colleague, then I don't give a rat's ass how good a mathematician you are.

If you treat people well (especially junior folks), then we can talk.

[Enzo KatolaZ Nicosia @KatolaZ]

Our last work about integrating network structure and metadata using absorbing random walks and the map equation. Great collaboration with @m_rosvall @antoneri @AleixBassolas and Antoine Marot.

Curious about non-local relations between metadata and modular structure in your networks? Preprint with @AleixBassolas, @antoneri, Antoine Marot, and Vincenzo Nicosia: Metadata-informed community detection with lazy encoding using absorbing random walks. https://t.co/PWyTfWmVnM
