This thesis seeks to combine two different research topics; Multi-Objective Optimization and Complex Network Analysis.

A new research data infrastructure in computational social science

Thanks to data science, we can chart and search enormous quantities of related information. This generates all kinds of new insights, for example in complex global financial structures or such societal problems as loneliness.

The current study focuses on Walpole’s social network and the language as contained in the letters of the network members.

Social and Behavioural Sciences, Cultural Anthropology and Development Sociology

With textnets it is possible to visualize and analyze textual data in novel ways.

Analytical tools for environmental design and management in a systems perspective. The combined use of analytical tools.

Networks play an important role in various studies, ranging from analysing epidemics in human populations to studying connectivity in electrical circuits. Vincent Traag contributes to the development of igraph, a popular package for analysing large networks.

igraph, an important open source network analysis library, will receive two grants of $400,000 (approximately €340,000) over the course of the next two years.

Modelling supra-regional communities in the early 3rd Millennium BC

This dissertation studies how domestic regulatory agencies and the officials representing them are influenced by and deal with the increasingly complex transnational environments in which they have come to operate. Based on (social) network analysis it demonstrates how decisions of domestic agencies…

Which adolescents are more at risk of developing social anxiety disorder later in life?

The focus of this programme is the inter-community social relationships and transformations of island networks in the Lesser Antilles across the historical divide.

Tracing the residues of Neolithic activities through the study of stone artefacts

The recent terrorist attacks in Europe are presumably not just acts committed by individuals, but acts facilitated by larger jihadist networks. But how do such networks operate? Understanding their modus operandi can be useful knowledge to counter terrorist threats.

... which focuses on the development and use of new multivariate statistical tools needed for analyses of data collected in the four other programs.

In this project, we use social network analysis to analyze the behavior of users in online forums and associated marketplaces over time.

This study examines recovery planning committees across Japan's Tohoku region.

How do we address the pressing challenges posed by large-scale networks?

The Leiden Leadership Centre is an international and interdisciplinary network organisation connecting people and perspectives.

The Leiden Complex Networks Network (LCN2) aims at bringing together scientists from different disciplines, based on a common interest in both theoretical models and empirical analyses of networks and graphs.

This project develops methods for ensuring the anonymity of individuals in social network data.

For many system in statistical physics the microcanonical and canonical ensemble are equivalent in the thermodynamic limit, but not for all.

This thesis develops statistical methods for the analysis of high dimensional data: high dimensional networks reconstruction (Chapters 1-4), incorporation of prior information in networks reconstruction (Chapters 2-4), incorporation of prior knowledge in genetic association studies (Chapter 3).

The LGBT+ Network offers a platform for all lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer staff and students at Leiden University.

This dissertation consists of two parts, with the common theme

The Explainatory Data Analysis group develops algorithms and theory that enable domain experts to explain data by finding interpretable patterns and models.

Scientists often need to make sense of complex systems without knowing the important parameters or even without access to all the information. A collaboration of network theorists, including Diego Garlaschelli (IMT Lucca/Leiden), has now published a review article in the inaugural issue of Nature Reviews…

PhD Defence

Both within Leiden University and in the external partner universities PhD-research is conducted which is directly or indirectly related to regional integration.

Obtaining imaging data is nowadays only the start of your project. Once the data has been acquired there are many things that still need to be done.

Analysis of neuroimaging data requires multiple steps where statistics play a crucial role. The MRI methods research group develops new statistical methods that are accurate, transparent and easy to use.

The research of our group is centered around dynamical systems, functional analysis and their interplay.

The research of this programme is centered around dynamical systems, functional analysis, and their interplay.

In this publication, Prof. Tahir Abbas, Inés Bolaños Somoano, Joana Cook, Isabelle Frens, Graig R. Klein and Richard McNeil-Willson look into the manifesto that was linked to the Buffalo attack in order to better understand the broader context and specific factors that motivated the perpetrator.

The Institute of Environmental Sciences has carried out and participates in several projects that deal with the analysis of energy systems.
