Shayan Alipour, PhD

I am a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Department of Electrical, Computer, & Biomedical Engineering at Toronto Metropolitan University, where I am a member of the Human-Centered Machine Intelligence Lab.

My research lies at the intersection of Machine Learning, Network Science, and Computational Social Science, with findings published in leading venues such as Nature. I leverage advanced statistical methods to analyze large-scale behavioral data, aiming to inform public policy and guide the adoption of emerging technologies.

I earned my PhD from Sapienza University of Rome under the supervision of Walter Quattrociocchi, where I conducted research at the Center for Data Science and Complexity for Society Lab. During my doctoral studies, I was awarded the Computer Science Departmental Excellence Scholarship, along with several research grants supporting my work. Previously, I was a visiting scholar at the Complexity Science Hub and the University of Toronto.

As a true believer in network effect, I love connecting with others. Feel free to reach out, I'd be more than happy to have a quick chat!
