Our work on the dynamics of urban expansion just got published in the Physical Review Letters ! journals.aps.org/prl/abstract...
Universal Roughness and the Dynamics of Urban Expansion
Urban sprawl reshapes cities, yet its quantitative laws remain elusive. Analyzing built-up expansion in 19 cities (1985--2015) with tools from surface growth physics in radial geometry, we reveal anis...

Finishing the social media session, @tlouf.bsky.social explores Telegram as a weighted, directed temporal network. His methodology reveals clustering, burstiness, and assortativity, all of them phenomena that are relevant when building reliable agent-based models.

If you're at #CCS25 and are interested in human mobility and inequalities, at 11:30 in Room 149 I will talk of experienced segregation. This is a work we started at the @complexity72h.bsky.social workshop last year.
Take a look at the preprint and see you there 🙂
