I participated in IPAM’s Modeling Multi-Scale Collective Intelligences
Published:
I was accepted to IPAM’s Workshop Modeling Multi-Scale Collective Intelligences at Los Angeles, a 1-week-long satellite workshop, part of the long program Mathematics of Intelligences held at IPAM, that invited leading experts in the mathematical modeling of collective intelligence to develop the mathematical foundations necessary for transformational advances in understanding natural and artificial intelligences.
I participated in CCS24.
Published:
I participated in the Conference on Complex Systems 2024 (CCS24) held in Exeter from the 2nd to the 6th of September. I also had the opportunity to take part in the warm-up on the campus of my institution (Northeastern University) in London, UK from 30th to the 31th of August.
I participated in the “Hypergraphs: Theory and Application” Programme
Published:
I participated in Hypergraphs: Theory and Application, a 4-week-long satellite programme, held at the Alan Turing Institute, that invited pure and applied mathematicians working at the forefront of hypergraph theory, applied topology and network science to interact with each other to further develop the foundations of hypergraph theory and applications across the sciences.
Talk at the 1st British NetSci Symposium…
Published:
I gave a talk at the “1st British NetSci Symposium” at Queen Mary University on how social rewiring preferences bridge polarized communities.
I joined the Network Science Institute as a PhD student!!!
Published:
I joined the newly launched hub of the Network Science Institute at Northeastern University London as a PhD student under the supervision of Prof. Giovanni Petri.
“How social rewiring preferences bridge polarized communities” accepted in Chaos, Solitons and Fractals.
Published:
A new paper on “How social rewiring preferences bridge polarized communities” was accepted in Chaos, Solitons and Fractals. In this paper we studied how individual rewiring preferences bridge initially weakly connected communities and how likely it is for them to reach a consensus, in a context of complex information diffusion.
Master Thesis successfully defended!
Published:
I discussed my Master Thesis with the title “Information Diffusion in Dynamic Networks”. The presentation was performed on the December 7 and I am now a graduate of Instituto Superior Técnico (IST) with a Master of Science degree in Physics/Physics Engineering.

How social rewiring preferences bridge polarized communities
Published in Chaos, Solitons & Fractals, 2024
Recently, social debates have been marked by increased polarization of social groups. Such polarization not only implies that groups cannot reach a consensus on fundamental questions but also materializes in more modular social spaces/networks that further amplify the risks of polarization in less polarizing topics. In this paper, we use a computational model to understand how fast and to what extent individual rewiring preferences bridge initially weakly connected communities and how likely it is for them to reach a consensus. We show that homophilic and heterophilic rewiring preferences have different impacts depending on the type of opinion spread and only a mix of both avoids polarization and promotes consensus across a broad profile of simple and complex opinion diffusion processes.
