Research:
        My current research is about dynamical graphs, the propagation of epidemics and information over networks, and         the geographical dispersal of networks, mainly with applications on mobile phone networks. I have also much                 interest in community detection, leadership in networks, and more generally in the analysis of very large graphs.

        Even more generally, any topic concerning graph theory or optimization is very likely to interest me :-)

        I work at UCLouvain in the research group Large Graphs and Networks, and I am also part of the URB research         group in Senseable City Laboratory, from MIT.

Activities and recent news:
    Upcoming Events: - I'll be at NetSci 2011, in Budapest from June 6 until June 10.
                                            - Don't miss NetMob2011, co-located with SocialCom2011, in Cambridge, MA, USA,                                                 on October 10-11 2011!
                                            - Thesis writing under way...

       Projects:
                Time-evolving networks with Jari Saramäki and Márton Karsai
                    Scaling distributions in growing networks with Sebastian Bernhardsson
                Epidemics modeling with Jean-Charles Delvenne and Sophie Hautephenne
                    Comunity detection in crime author networks with the Belgian Federal Police
