Inspired by Chris Albon’s excellent list of people studying conflict and/or health on Twitter, I decided to put together a similar list of people studying networks—the net-heads of Twitter. Twitter is a natural place for people interested in networks to both share ideas and collect data; therefore, if you are a net-head and not yet part of the conversation, I implore you to join.
For those of you are already tweeting, here are the net-heads you should be following.
- Me – a little shameless self-promotion, but I talk about network sometimes
- Valdis Krebs – world renowned expert in network analysis, and occasional blogger at The Network Thinker
- Barry Wellman – professor of Sociology at the University of Toronto, Barry is one of the founding fathers of modern social network analysis
- Michael Bommarito – PhD student in political science at Michigan, Michael studies the networks of law and blogs about his research at Computational Legal Studies
- Chris Diehl – Senior Research Scientist at Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Lab, focusing on machine learning and networks
- Erich Morisse – analyst interested in social complexity blogging at How We Know Us
- Dawn Gilpin – professor of communications studying networks and media
- Mark Round – studies social networks and cognition
- Ivan Labra – research faculty at Naval Post Grad School examining complex systems
- Lucas Neville – PhD at Queens University studying organization behavior and conflict
- Mark Roddy – Python expert, agent-based modeler, net-head
- Zach Smith – former co-worker, applying network analysis to national security problems
- Michael Moore – another former co-worker, working on networked national security issues
- Jake Hofman – research scientist at Yahoo! Research working with über net-head Duncan Watts
Of course, this list is by no means comprehensive, and in the spirit of yesterday’s spring cleaning/bleg, I welcome any and all suggestion for additional net-heads.
