Welcome to my webpage. Here you will find some personal data, information about my research
and my scientific publications. In case you have further inquiries, do
not hesitate to contact me.
I am postdoctoral researcher in the Institute of Complex Systems
(UBICS) and in the
Department of Condensed Matter Physics
of the Faculty of Physics,
both at the University of Barcelona.
Prior to this appointment, I was a postdoctoral researcher at the
Bruno Kessler Foundation,
in Trento, Italy. There I was involved first
in the Complex Multilayer Networks Lab, led by Prof.
Manlio De Domenico, and
later in the Complex Human Behavior (CHuB) Lab,
led by Dr. Riccardo Gallotti.
I have a PhD in Physics (2020) from the Institute for Cross-Disciplinary
Physics and Complex Systems (IFISC).
There I worked under the supervision of
Dr. José J. Ramasco
and Prof. Maxi San Miguel
on topics related to the collective dynamics of social and socio-technical
systems. I have a MSc in Physics of Complex Systems from IFISC and a
BSc in Physics from the
University of Barcelona.
My name, Oriol, is pronounced /u.ɾiˈɔɫ/ or /o.ɾiˈɔɫ/. It derives from
the Latin words aureolus/aureus (golden).
That is why I share my name with this
yellow bird.
My scientific interests, and the research that I conduct, orbit around
Complex Systems and Network Science.
In my research I use analytical and computational techniques
borrowed from statistical physics and stochastic processes. To bring
theory and applications together, I integrate these approaches with
the analysis of large data sets, frequently coming from sociol-technical
systems, but not only. A summarized list of interests comprises:
Besides this list, I have a bent on innovative interdisciplinary problems. Whenever possible, I try to orientate my research on those directions.

Alongside with Manlio De Domenico, we have recently guest-edited the Theme Issue
"Emergent phenomena in complex physical and sociotechnical systems: from cells to societies"
in Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A.
It includes 16 contributions from world-leading experts on the concept of Emergence,
the hallmark of complexity science, from a modern and interdisciplinary viewpoint.
