Overview

Hugo Barbosa is transdisciplinary scientist whose focus is on data-driven methods and models to complex human behaviours and their interaction with social, economic and physical urban complex systems. He has a background in Computer Science and Engineering with large experience in bio-inspired computing, complex networks, machine learning, geospatial data analysis and agent-based modelling.   He was a postdoctoral associate at the Physics and Astronomy Department of the University of Rochester, NY and is an alumni of the prestigious Santa Fé Institute Complex Systems Summer School.
