Professor Shlomo Havlin “Network Science and Applications”
Department of Physics, Bar-Ilan University, Israel
http://havlin.biu.ac.il/index.php
Network science has been applied in many world-wide systems and processes in different disciplines. These include social systems, physiology, traffic, climate, and epidemics. I will show some examples of how network tools can distinguish between fake news and real news [1] and how switching between topics of scientists affects their scientific impact [2]. I will also show how network tools can help to better understand and distinguish between deep and light sleep [3], improve urban traffic [4], forecasting climate phenomena [5], and mitigating pandemics [6].
