My organisation
The Complexity Science Hub (CSH) is Europe’s research center for the study of complex systems. We derive meaning from data from a range of disciplines – economics, medicine, ecology, and the social sciences – as a basis for actionable solutions for a better world. Established in 2015, we have grown to over 70 researchers, driven by the increasing demand to gain a genuine understanding of the networks that underlie society, from healthcare to supply chains. Through our complexity science approaches linking physics, mathematics, and computational modeling with data and network science, we develop the capacity to address today's and tomorrow’s challenges.
About me
At the Complexity Science Hub (CSH) in Vienna, I lead the Science of Cities / Transforming Economies research program. Before joining CSH, I served as the Research Director of the Growth Lab at the Harvard Kennedy School. My research focuses on economic transformation and growth and connects to a number of topics, such as structural transformation and new growth paths in regional economies, economic complexity, division of labor and teams, the consequences of job displacement and the future of work.
