Is life itself, and perhaps consciousness and higher intelligence, inevitable in the universe? That depends on how complexity evolves.

Network thinking to solve complex challenges and extract knowledge from data!!

🚀 Now accepting applications for the new MS in Complex Network Analysis at Northeastern!

Study real-world systems—social, financial, biological, public health—using cutting-edge network science tools.

Bring your A game!

Big announcement at #NetSciX2025 is that India will join many countries by having its own Network Science Society country chapter!!!

What is a “typical” graph given a specified generative model?

@nunetsi.bsky.social PhD student, Narayan Sabhahit, presenting a new method for answering this question for hidden variable random graphs at #netscix2025.

Narayan Sabhahit from @nunetsi.bsky.social introduces a formal definition of network typicality by derandomisation (work with Krioukov lab and @scarpino.bsky.social) #netscix2025
