Vito Latora

Vito Latora is professor of applied mathematics, chair of complex systems and head of the Complex Systems and Networks Group at the School of Mathematical Sciences of Queen Mary University of London. He is also professor of theoretical physics at the University of Catania.

Vito’s research deals with several aspects of complex systems, from fundamental aspects of their structure and dynamics to interdisciplinary applications integrating physics, mathematics, social and biological sciences.  Vito’s recent interests are in  modelling dynamical processes on multiplex and temporal  networks, and on higher-order structures, such as simplicial complexes and hypergraphs.

Vito is currently collaborating with neuroscientists and anthropologists to understanding the network components of creativity, innovation and success.
