About the Guest Editors
Federico Battiston is Associate Professor at the Department of Network and Data Science at Central European University, and the Organizer of the Central European Chapter of the Network Science Society. Since January 2020, he serves as Editorial Board Member for Communcations Physics. Before joining DNDS-CEU, he held postdoctoral positions at University College London, and at the Brain & Spine Institute in Paris. Federico holds a PhD in Applied Mathematics from Queen Mary University of London, and degrees in Theoretical Physics from Sapienza University of Rome. He works on the structure and dynamics of complex networks, on network neuroscience, and on computational social science.
Ginestra Bianconi is Professor of Applied Mathematics in the School of Mathematical Sciences of Queen Mary University of London and she is Alan Turing Fellow at the Alan Turing Institute. Currently she is Chief Editor of JPhys Complexity, Editor of PloSOne, and Scientific Reports, and she is Associate Editor of Chaos, Solitons and Fractals. Her research activity on Statistical Mechanics and Network Science includes Network Theory and its interdisciplinary applications. She has formulated the Bianconi-Barabasi model that displays the Bose-Einstein condensation in complex networks. She has worked in network entropy and network ensembles and on dynamical processes on networks. In the last years she has been focusing on multilayer networks, simplicial complex geometry and topology, percolation and network control. She is the author of the book Multilayer Networks: Structure and Function by Oxford University Press.
