Research interests
- Network theory and applications.
- Spreading processes (particular focus on epidemics).
- Dynamical systems (linear and non-linear) and mathematical modelling.
- Machine learning and artificial intelligence.
- Optimisation problems.
- Collective dynamics, risks and decisions.
Epidemic modelling and analysis on the German cattle trade network
Agent-based and event-driven simulations reproducing the dynamics of the German cattle trade network for the years 2010 to 2014, and predicting its behaviour further, with a focus on the bovine viral diarrhea disease (BVD). Collaborative project with current and former members of the group and partners from the Friedrich Loeffler Institute. The project's code is available on GitHub.
Mean-field model of retarded integro-differential equations on the BVD dynamics.
Risk analysis of epidemic outbreaks
- Wavelet analysis of the trading activity on the German cattle trade network (2010-2014).

- Weekly aggregation of the German cattle trade network for the years 2010-2014.

Static and temporal analysis of the German, Greek and Swiss cattle trade networks. Characteristic times, paths, trends and spatial correlations are identified with the aim of revealing epidemic vulnerabilities of the network. Joint work with Vittoria Colizza's team in Paris.
Network Activity Visualisation
We have worked on clustering the activity of the cattle trade network of Germany into its 16 federal states as illustrated in the interactive application below (work performed by Lukas Kikuchi in the summer of 2016).
