Personal statement
Director of BIFI Institute and responsible of the Complex Networks and Systems Group (COSNET). Pioneering researcher in the theory of complex networks with an outstanding research career in different fields. He has been elected vice president (2015-2018) and president (2018-2022) of the Network Science Society (NSS), as well as vice president (2012-2015) and later president (2015-2018) of the Complex Systems Society (CSS). He has more than 290 scientific publications, has been PI of national and European projects, member of the FET advisory group (H2020 Program), evaluator and editor of prestigious international journals and editor-in-chief of the Journal of Complex Networks. Yamir Moreno is a fellow of the APS and the NSS and has received the CSS Senior Scientific Award. He has served as scientific director at ISI Foundation and CENTAI, and is external professor at the Complexity Science Hub, Vienna. He is a highly cited scientist in his field.
Researcher profile identity
Yamir Moreno has worked on different topics such as: the study of nonlinear dynamic systems coupled to complex structures, transport and diffusion processes with applications in technological and communication networks, disease dynamics and rumor propagation, structure and dynamics of multilayer and higher order networks, systems biology, in the analysis of the emergence of collective behaviours in biological and social environments, in evolutionary game theory, with special emphasis on understanding the bases of the emergence of cooperation in humans and in the development of large-scale experiments. Recently, he has worked on the analysis of the interactions between humans and intelligent systems, on the study and implementation of generative agent-based models and on the development of data-driven computational methods to model with greater precision and realism the impact of non-pharmaceutical interventions and human behavioural changes in the course of a pandemic like the Covid-19.
Why my research is important
Real systems are made of networks of interactions, whose structure determines their dynamics and functioning. Prof. Moreno’s research brings in new mathematical and computational tools to study and characterize such networks in fields as diverse as natural, social, technological, and biological systems. His work has a significant impact on societal challenges such as the real-time modeling of the large-scale spreading of short and long-lived diseases (e.g., Tuberculosis, Covid-19, etc.), the emergence of collective behavior among humans, the characterization of human-machine systems, and the detailed characterization of information dissemination, including the dynamics of online social networks and the spreading of misinformation. Likewise, from a foundational point of view, Prof. Moreno’s work leads the way to create new theoretical approaches and computational tools to advance in the study of multilayer and higher-order systems, synchronization and diffusion processes, and the use of data analytics for social impact.
