Prof Dr Luis E. C. Rocha is a Professor of Econophysics and Social Physics and leads the Complex Systems Institute at Ghent University, Belgium (www.csi.ugent.be). He is affiliated with the Department of Economics and the Department of Physics and Astronomy. He holds a PhD in Theoretical Physics from Umeå University, Sweden (2011), and a master's in Applied Physics and Informatics from the University of Sao Paulo, Brazil. He also holds a post-graduate certificate of Teaching in Higher Education from the University of Greenwich, UK, and is a Fellow of the UK Higher Education Academy. Before joining Ghent University, he was a Lecturer at the University of Greenwich, UK, and an Assistant Professor at Karolinska Institute, Sweden. He held research positions at Stockholm University, the University of Namur, and the University of Louvain-la-Neuve. His interdisciplinary research focuses on complex systems and network science, including computational modelling of dynamic processes on networks, agent-based modelling, and network data analytics. He collaborates with computer science, social sciences, applied mathematics, and public health experts, among others. His work contributes to understanding social, economic, and health systems through advanced computational modelling from a complex systems perspective.
