2021-11-29 I am thrilled to announce that National Science Centre, Poland (NCN) accepted my grant proposal for funding. The title of project is
"Modelling social interactions using data streams" (OPUS grant) and the research will last for three years. The aim of the project is to investigate how much information about human interactions can be derived from data streams using representations less complex than social networks.
2021-05-24 On May 28th at the Statistical Physics in Complex Systems (SPiCy) seminar I will be giving a talk titled
"On modelling and studying diffusion in social networks - current challenges". Since the meeting is virtual, everyone is invited to join -
more details here.
2021-03-11 The paper that further investigates sequential seeding - a metamethod for nodes activation in social networks - has been accepted and published in Chaos: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Nonlinear Science. In this work we propose and evaluate a sequential seeding approach for multilayer networks. The work is titled
"Sequential seeding in multilayer networks" and it has been co-authored by Piotr Bródka (PWr), Jarosław Jankowski (ZUT), and me. We also published
an accompanying code.
2021-03-09 On March 10th we will start data science courses with the support of the
DataCamp for the Classroom initiative. For obtaining the access instructions and guidance, please contact me by e-mail.
2021-01-08 Our paper on modelling social interactions from a cognitive processes point of view has been published in
Complexity journal. The work is titled
"Social Networks through the Prism of Cognition" and it has been co-authored by Radosław Michalski (PWr), Bolesław Szymański (RPI), Przemysław Kazienko (PWr), Christian Lebiere (CMU), Omar Lizardo (UCLA), and Marcin Kulisiewicz (PWr). We also published an accompanying
fast C implementation of the CogSNet model.
2020-11-07 We are happy to announce that the demo paper on the
Dru platform has been accepted as a presentation and publication at
ASONAM 2020 conference. We will be presenting the platform on December 7th, 2020. The work is co-authored by Radosław Michalski and Marcin Pieczka.
2020-09-08 On September 11th we will start data science courses with the support of the
DataCamp for the Classroom initiative. For obtaining the access instructions, please contact me by e-mail.

2019-08-04 We successfully finished the grant on creating an environment for research of blockchains by means of network science. The outcome -
the Dru platform - makes the analysies easier and focused not on coding but on actual research. The platform is open-sourced and can be used for any RPC-based blockchains (and others with slight modifications).
