معرفی
Riccardo Di Clemente is an Associate Professor at the Network Science Institute, Northeastern University London, where he develops mathematical frameworks to analyze complex social connections governing human behavior in cities and online. His research spans network theory, computational social science, and machine learning, focusing on digital footprints, urban mobility, and socioeconomic dynamics.
Key research areas include:
- Urban-Rural mobility disparities
- Temporal-spatial analysis of human behavior
- Economic complexity and inequality
- Online social network dynamics
His recent work examines temporal compression in online discourse (PNAS Nexus, 2025) and systemic risk in production networks (2025). Collaborations include studies on pandemic mobility patterns (Nature Human Behaviour, 2023) and disaster resilience tools (Mobilkit, 2024).
Projects include:
- Analysis of socioeconomic mobility during lockdowns
- Modeling consensus formation on Reddit
- Quantifying urban segregation via machine learning
The Complex Connections Lab, which he leads, focuses on digital traces from Reddit and mobile data to understand urban systems. The lab actively recruits early-career researchers through
- Marie Curie Fellowships
- Newton International Fellowships
- Leverhulme Trust grants
