The archive of all our previous seminars
After every seminar, whether you were present or not, you want to come here! You will find all the information about each seminar below, including a fantastic blog. In this blog you will find highlights of the key points of the talks, useful resources for everyday PhD life and some food for thoughts from our biweekly conversations. Notice that the conversations had during our seminars are mostly unrelated to the research title of the talk. They are actually related to challenges in Academia and PhD life.
Moreover, if the speaker allows to record, the recording of the session is uploaded on Youtube, and available to access from our YouTube channel. Each blog is also posted on Twitter/X and Bluesky, and we encourage you to add your thoughts there!
Hey NetPals, did you miss the netPLACE seminar with Giacomo Livan from UCL? He presented an intriguing talk titled ‘Leveraging bibliometric data to understand academic impact’, exploring what factors may boost and enhance the early stages of an academic career.
Hey NetPals, did you miss the last netPLACE talk of April? Antoine Vendeville from University College London gave a talk titled ‘Opening up echo chambers via optimal content recommendation’, emphasising that the existence of echo chambers in social networks is a problem of primary relevance.
Hey NetPeople! On Thursday, April 6th, we had Naomi Arnold from Northeastern University in London as our speaker. She gave a refreshing talk titled ‘Temporal Graph Motifs and How to Find Them: Or How I Inadvertently Got into Big Data Engineering’
Hey NetPeople! Did you miss last Thursday’s talk? Lasse Mohr from the Technical University of Denmark (Lyngby, Denmark) was our speaker, with his captivating talk, titled ‘The Growth of a Nation-Spanning Family’
Hi netFollower! Two weeks ago we had an amazing talk from Alessandro Lonardi (Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems) about optimal transport in networks for design and flux optimization, giving examples of energy optimising systems in both natural and human realms.
Hi NetFollowers, last week we had Hanlin Sun from Queen Mary University of London as our speaker, talking about a theoretical approach with both percolation and message-passing techniques used for mitigating an epidemic wave.
Hey NetPeople! Do you remember Arash Badie-Modiri? Two weeks ago Arash, from Aalto University. gave an amazing talk with the title ‘Reticula: A temporal network and hypergraph analysis software package’.
Hey NetFOLLOWERS! What a talk from Federica Baccini! Federica, from the University of Pisa (Italy), was our previous speaker on the topic of weighted simplicial complexes and their representation power of higher-order network data and topology.
Hey NetFOLLOWERS! Did you enjoy the holidays? Our last speaker before the break was Elisa Scanu from Queen Mary University of London, who gave a talk on “Investigating through mathematical model the evolutionary path on ecDNA'
Hello NetFOLLOWERS! Last Thursday Dr. Mateusz Wilinski from Los Alamos National Laboratory introduced us the powerful dynamic message-passing (DMP) algorithm, that makes possible to complete inference task on large networks and can be used on optimisation problems as well.
