My research is focused on the analysis of the evolution of online social systems, also from the computational social science perspective. I’m interested in studying the behavior of (groups of) individuals and their interactions on social media platforms, aiming to reach a deeper understanding of online and offline social behavior and to enhance the quality of personalized web services. Social bonding, homophily, influence, social attention, popularity, information spreading, social status, and link prediction are some of the topics I have been studying lately.Additionally, I’m involved in the SocialSensor FP7 EU project, working on development of new tools for computational journalism. I’m also interested in visualization of dynamical networks and in data visualization in general. In the past I worked in the area of distributed systems, in the framework of the PROFILES project (PRIN). I developed the Likir framework, a secure and identity-aware DHT that can be used to build decentralized, privacy-aware online social networks.
