The Leiden Complex Networks Network (LCN2) aims at bringing together scientists from different disciplines, based on a common interest in both theoretical models and empirical analyses of networks and graphs.

For many system in statistical physics the microcanonical and canonical ensemble are equivalent in the thermodynamic limit, but not for all.

This thesis seeks to combine two different research topics; Multi-Objective Optimization and Complex Network Analysis.

This project develops methods for ensuring the anonymity of individuals in social network data.

In this thesis, we extend the concept of null models as canonical ensembles of multi-graphs with given constraints and present new metrics able to characterize real-world layered systems based on their correlation patterns.

‘It has never been so easy to set up a Studium Generale series.’ With these words Tilman Grünewald thanked speaker Frank den Hollander, who kicked off the Studium Generale series on complex networks on Monday 20 February.

This dissertation consists of two parts, with the common theme

On Friday 23 September 2016 the Leiden Complex Networks Network day, the LCN2 day, will take place in Leiden.

The first successful Leiden Networks day took place on September 23, 2016. Six world-renowned speakers (see photo) in the field of complexity and network science provided their view on the field.

NETWORKS, a new consortium of 11 researchers from the University of Amsterdam, Technical University Eindhoven, Leiden University and CWI aims to address the pressing challenges posed by large-scale networks using stochastics and algorithms.

Professor Frank den Hollander has been awarded a 10-year grant through the NWO Gravitation program, jointly with colleagues from the University of Amsterdam, the Center for Mathematics and Computer Science in Amsterdam, and the Technical University of Eindhoven.

Frank den Hollander has received the Humboldt Research Award of €60,000. He was nominated by two German colleagues with whom he is working together for an extensive period of time. ‘The award was a complete surprise to me.'

The Leiden Computational Network Science Lab (CNS Lab) researches methods for knowledge discovery from real-world network data.

The authors of the article expect automation to improve accuracy in less complex programmes but worsens with increased complexity

How can complexity science advance intelligence transformation?

We study the structure, dynamics and physics of complex networks emerging from the intricate interconnectedness of the constituents of large systems.

How do we address the pressing challenges posed by large-scale networks?

The recent terrorist attacks in Europe are presumably not just acts committed by individuals, but acts facilitated by larger jihadist networks. But how do such networks operate? Understanding their modus operandi can be useful knowledge to counter terrorist threats.

This dissertation studies how domestic regulatory agencies and the officials representing them are influenced by and deal with the increasingly complex transnational environments in which they have come to operate. Based on (social) network analysis it demonstrates how decisions of domestic agencies…

A research data infrastructure in computational social science

In this thesis, we show that we can use Shimura’s CM theory to explicitly compute the Hilbert class field of any primitive quartic CM field.

Essays in Archaeology and Assyriology Dedicated to Diederik J.W. Meijer in Honour of his 65th Birthday

This thesis is comprised of three chapters covering the theme of studying semistable varieties by looking at their dual combinatorial objects.

Both within Leiden University and in the external partner universities PhD research is conducted which is directly or indirectly related to regional integration.

The Young Alumni Network is specifically for young alumni (35 years and younger) living in the Netherlands, who have recently graduated and are at the start of their career. As a young alumnus you have different needs than when you are settled in your career path or when your career is drawing to a…
