Diagram with two panels. Left panel labeled "As structures" shows nested ellipses: DynHyp (outermost) contains DynHyp_focal, which contains DynGraph, which contains DynHyp_flat (dashed). DynHyp_NFS sits separately inside DynHyp. Right panel labeled "As trajectories" shows a single ellipse: DynGraph = DynHyp. The structural hierarchy on the left collapses to equivalence on the right.
New paper: "The Cost of Representing Higher-Order Dynamics on Graphs"
Can graphs represent group interactions? Yes, but graphs pay a parsimony cost when compared to using hypergraphs.
Addresses recent work by Peixoto et al., Moutuou, and Lacasa.

Our perspective piece (and one of my last chapters of the PhD thesis) was published in Nature Human Behaviour. We review the literature on how group interactions shape collective behaviour and highlight cases where they are (or are not) important to consider. (link: rdcu.be/eU5jC)

I have started as a Postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Evolutionary Anthropology at University of Zurich with Andrea Migliano and Lucio Vinicius. I will be analyzing social networks in hunter-gatherer populations and other great apes populations. It has been a fun few months so far!
2/5
Many personal things have happened in the past few months and it is time to update the social media!
I received my PhD in Network Science at @ceu-dnds.bsky.social under the supervision of @fede7j.bsky.social after a wonderful 4 years in Vienna with amazing friends and colleagues!

Do you REALLY need anything else to be convinced?
We didn’t think so.
Fourth-year PhD student @claraeminente.bsky.social presented new work on two fronts: why people overestimate the size of racial minority groups in the US, and how intersectional homophily might reduce racial segregation in school friendship networks. 👏
#WeAreCEU #NetworkScience
4th-year PhD candidate Helcio Felippe presented new work on using information theory to summarize network structure — including a measure of network & hypergraph similarity and a principled way to reduce higher-order representations. 👏
#NetworkScience
On Dec 3, 4th-year PhD candidate Martí Medina-Hernández presented how ML and network science can reveal hidden patterns of corruption across Mexico, Bulgaria & Italy.
His work shows how data-driven methods can support stronger public-integrity policy.
#WeAreCEU #NetworkScience #CorruptionResearch
On Dec 3, 4th-year PhD candidate @loreb92.bsky.social presented his research on group dynamics in human & animal systems.
His work shows how leadership shifts affect software teams, how bird groups form stable higher-order social cores, and how to detect such structures from data.
#NetworkScience
3rd-year PhD student @bojanevkoski.bsky.social presented new work on mapping the structure of psychopathology using large-scale, heterogeneous data.
He compared insights from online support communities with clinical and registry data to uncover patterns that may inform future diagnostics.
CEU DNDS is looking for a new Assistant Professor to join us in #Vienna!
If you work in #NetworkScience or #ComputationalSocialScience, we’d love to hear from you.

But many social goods — cooperation, friendship, teaching — are not only positive, but also innate.
Discussed in Blueprint: The Evolutionary Origins of a Good Society — the book I have written of which I am proudest.
