Scientific-Disciplinary Group

02/PHYS-04 - Theoretical Physics Of Matter, Models, Mathematical Methods And Applications

Description

The winner of the assignment will be required to carry out research activities in various areas. On the theoretical side, they will contribute to the development of methodologies for the analysis of complex networks with applications to weighted networks. On the applied side, they will implement the developed methodologies for the analysis of social networks, with particular focus on detecting polarization in online social networks. In practice, the theoretical framework of maximum-entropy null models will be used to develop the tools necessary to remove noise from weighted networks representing positive or negative interactions on social media, and thus study the dynamics of online behavior.
