Social and Behavioral Dynamics

Exploring complex social dynamics in physical space and in online communities, that shape the natural and built environment.

Our research focuses on modeling complex social dynamics both in physical spaces and online environments, by exploring key phenomena such as behavioral contagion, norm emergence, group formation and collective decision-making. Additionally, our work investigates the dynamics of online communities, studying how individuals interact and influence each other in digital spaces. This has implications on topics such as polarization, online engagement and the impact of social media on political discourse. By understanding these complex interactions, we aim to develop insights that can inform strategies for fostering positive social outcomes and address challenges within digital and physical communities.
