About the Complex Connections Lab
The Complex Connections Lab is a research laboratory based at Northeastern University London dedicated to studying the complex social connections that govern human behavior and interactions in cities and online. We analyze the digital traces we leave behind to capture human behavior and social dynamics through the lens of network science, complexity theory, and data science.
Currently, we are developing machine learning models to understand how income segregation evolves over time in cities, analyzing semantic patterns in online communities to understand collective behavior, and measuring urban-rural mobility disparities across developing countries using mobile phone data.
Our Team
A multidisciplinary group of researchers in data science, physics, computer science, and mathematics developing innovative frameworks to analyze large-scale datasets and model complex social systems. We collaborate across disciplines and institutions to push the boundaries of computational social science.
Our Research
We study urban systems, human mobility, and online social dynamics. Using mobile phone traces, credit card transactions, and social media data, we uncover patterns in how people move, interact, and organize within cities and digital spaces.
Our Impact
Our research reaches beyond academia. We partner with international organizations, NGOs, and leading companies to translate complex data analysis into real-world solutions for urban planning, disaster response, and policy development.
