Profile
Ginestra Bianconi is Reader of Applied Mathematics and the Head of the Complex Systems and Network group at the School of Mathematical Sciences of Queen Mary University of London. Currently she is Editor of PloSOne, and Scientific Reports, and she is Associate Editor of Chaos, Solitons and Fractals.
Her research activity on Statistical Mechanics and Network Science includes Network Theory and its interdisciplinary applications. She has formulated the Bianconi-Barabasi model that displays the Bose-Einstein condensation in complex networks. She has worked in network entropy and network ensembles and on dynamical processes on networks. In the last years she has been focusing on multilayer networks, network geometry and topology, percolation and network control.
