The following post-docs and students are working with me within these projects, in a team that overlaps with a larger "complex systems" team at CAMS.
- Chih-Chun Chen (PostDoc, QLectives)
- Floriana Gargiulo (PostDoc, SIMPA)
- Telmo Menezes (PostDoc, Webfluence, QLectives)
- Talayeh Aledavood (PhD student, Orange Labs)
- Sébastien Lerique (MSc student EHESS, Cognitive Science)

Job openings will soon be announced within the AlgoPol project (see below).
Here is a list of projects I am currently coordinating at CAMS as a local PI for CNRS or as a global PI.
QLectives
- EU-funded project (ICT, FP7), active from March 2009 until February 2013.
- QLectives aims to combine social networks, collaborative content production and peer-to-peer systems, in order to form Quality Collectives, i.e. functional decentralized communities that self-organise and self-maintain for the benefit of the people who comprise them. The project aims to generate theory at the social level, design algorithms and deploy prototypes targeted towards two application domains: science and media content production.

SIMPA
- ANR-funded project (SYSCOMM 2009), active from November 2009 until October 2012.
- SIMPA broadly aims at appraising bias in empirical network and reconstruct missing data, in particular in the case of kinship networks, as a case of strongly structured networks.
The project will specifically explore theoretical topics relating to the statistical correlation between kinship cyclic patterns and the effect of missing data on such patterns. Models of reconstruction of artificial and realistic kinship networks should also be developed.

AlgoPol
- ANR-funded project (CONTINT 2011), active 2012-2015.
- AlgoPol ("Politique des algorithmes") is an interdisciplinary project gathering sociologists and computer scientists.
The current evolution of the Internet relies crucially
on algorithms for ranking and sorting digital content and online users and, more broadly, for
appraising information circulation. The objective of the project is to analyze these transformations,
the use of these algorithms and to develop knowledge regarding the new metrics of information on the web.
Here are projects I am actively participating in.
TINA
Finally projects which finished recently.
Webfluence
- ANR-funded project (SYSCOMM 2008), active from January 2009 until December 2010.
- Webfluence endeavors at analyzing, modeling and reconstructing the structure and dynamics of two specific social networks of the French Web: blogs of political opinion, and blogs dealing with leisure activities. Modeling the underlying complex socio-semantic system makes it possible to address social science questions pertaining to interactions with traditional media as well as their ability to "inoculate" these mass-media. Additionally, operational metrics regarding the audience and information broadcast will be defined - both as indicators and visualizations - on the project's Web site. Eventually, this Web site will be designed as a "Living Lab" in order to allow involved actors to evaluate research results directly.
