Vito Claudio LATORA
Vito Latora is Professor of Theoretical Physics and Mathematical Models at the University of Catania. He is also professor of Applied Mathematics, Chair of Complex Systems, and Head of the Complex Systems and Networks Group at Queen Mary University of London, and External Faculty of the Vienna Complexity Hub. Vito is one of the leading scientists in the area of complex networks in Italy and internationally with more than 200 publications, over more than 45000 citations and a h-index h = 86. His research deals with several aspects of complex systems, from fundamental aspects of their structure and dynamics to interdisciplinary applications integrating physics, mathematics, social and biological sciences. Vito's recent interests are in modelling dynamical processes on multiplex and temporal networks, and on higher-order structures, such as simplicial complexes and hypergraphs. Vito is currently collaborating with neuroscientists and anthropologists to understanding the network components of creativity, innovation and success.
