معرفی
Márton Karsai is an Associate Professor and Head of the Department of Network and Data Science at Central European University (CEU). He also serves as a Research Professor at the Rényi Institute of Mathematics (Hungary) and Editor-in-Chief of Advances in Complex Systems. His work focuses on computational social science, human dynamics, and data-driven modeling of socioeconomic systems. Karsai holds advanced degrees including a DSc from the Hungarian Academy of Sciences and an HDR (Habilitation) in Computer Science from École Normale Supérieure de Lyon.
His research integrates temporal networks, human mobility, and social contagion phenomena, often using large-scale datasets from digital platforms and wearable sensors. Notable projects include studies on evacuation behavior during disasters, vaccination hesitancy, and urban socioeconomic stratification. Karsai leads interdisciplinary initiatives like the DyLNet project, which examines social interactions and language development in preschool environments through sensor technology.
Recent publications highlight innovations in network clustering algorithms (PASCO), epidemic modeling with generalized contact matrices, and the application of machine learning to infer socioeconomic status from satellite imagery. His work bridges computational methods with real-world challenges in public health, urban planning, and humanitarian development.
