After a PhD in Physics dedicated to the modeling of granular gases at ULB, I have drifted towards more interdisciplinary fields of research and the analysis of large-scale complex networks.

The study of networks has become extremely popular over the last decade, mainly because they offer a unifying framework to represent a broad range of social, biological and technological systems. At the heart of network theory, there is the idea that the behaviour of complex systems is shaped by the organization of the interactions between their constituents. Complex networks theory gives the means to identify generic organization principles behind the architecture of complex systems and provides key mathematical tools for cross-disciplinary research.

My work mainly focuses on
- social networks and the possibility to exploit the fingerprints left in electronic records (mobile phone, email, online social networks, etc.) to improve our understanding of human society.
- brain networks, with the aim to reveal how brain architecture supports the emergence of adaptive behavior and cognition.

After postdocs at Ulg, UCL and Imperial College, I am currently associate professor in Mathematics at the University of Namur. My research project has a broad focus and deals with the relation between dynamics, function and structure in complex networks.
