New project: Data-Driven Risk Assesment in Infrastructure Networks

Posted on November 1, 2017February 26, 2018 by frank

A new 4-year project together with the inspectorate of the Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure and Water will focus on new data-driven methods for risk assessment, with the aim to for example better coordinate inspection efforts. As part of this project, PhD students Antonio Barata and Gerrit-Jan de Bruin will work at LIACS on data of amongst other things (networks of) water transportation and vehicle movement. Welcome Antonio and Gerrit-Jan!

ABOUT ME
I am an associate professor at LIACS, the computer science and artificial intelligence department of Leiden University. My research interest is in network science, dealing with methods and algorithms for knowledge discovery from (social) network data, covering applications in economics, science studies and computational social science.

Currently, I am head of the Leiden Computational Network Science research group, academic co-director of the Dutch POPNET research platform for population-scale social network analysis and co-chair of the Dutch Network Science Society.

I supervise bachelor, master and PhD students, and teach courses on competitive programming and social network analysis. Moreover, I am director of education of the bachelor programmes Informatica (Computer Science) and Data Science & Artificial Intelligence.
