Job loss disrupts mobility but doesn’t narrow gaps across socio-demographic groups.

🚀Job loss disrupts individuals’ mobility and their exploratory patterns🚀
Thanks to a great collaboration with @marcodena.bsky.social, @marcotonin.bsky.social, Bruno Lepri and @lorenzolucchini.bsky.social our latest study is finally out in iScience!

New paper alert. "More is different" & the LLMs.
LLMs are usually studied in isolation. But what happens when they start interacting? We explored this by looking at their collective behaviour.

New in PNAS! 📢 lnkd.in/d7z2VEjh
👉 We show how combining individual & collective behavior boosts out-of-routine mobility prediction

👉 We found collective behavior strongly impacts individual mobility in dense urban areas.

👉 The model is robust to severe behavioral changes (e.g., COVID pandemic)

🚨New paper forthcoming @apsrjournal.bsky.social!🚨

How do economic shocks shape politics?

We study a plant disease epidemic in Italy🌱—finding it fueled far-right support

It’s not just economic loss but how shocks uproot communities and interact with perceptions of state neglect

New work with @alainbarrat.bsky.social!
How to generate surrogate temporal networks to replace real ones:
arxiv.org/abs/2411.05477
Surrogates will have:
- no temporal length limit
- local dynamics similar to the real one
- mesoscale features like clustering and modularity
- long-term memory effects
