Michael Szell is currently postdoctoral researcher at Northeastern University (Center for Complex Network Research). His interdisciplinary background of Mathematics, Computer Science, and Physics is well reflected in his research goals: To quantitatively understand collective behavior and the underlying patterns of our interlinked actions and decisions in a new kind of "computational social science", which typically involves mining large-scale data sets of human activity following a complex networks/systems approach. Michael's special focus is on online environments and media, in particular he is known for his work on multiplex networks, social dynamics and mobility from the players in his massive multiplayer online game "Pardus", www.pardus.at.
