Summary

Senior🎓
Top SchoolDiogo Pacheco is a Senior Lecturer and computational social scientist with 11 years of experience applying data science, machine learning and computational intelligence to understand complex social behaviour and misinformation. He blends academic research and applied projects—from building evolutionary multi-objective decision support systems for sugarcane harvesting to developing large-scale agent-based simulations for DARPA’s SocialSim program. His work spans interdisciplinary collaborations at Indiana University’s CNetS/OSoMe and the University of Exeter, combining network science, cognitive modelling and empirical social media analysis. Diogo supervisors undergraduate and postgraduate students and has co-led Knowledge Transfer Partnerships that translate research into industry impact. Notably, he moved from industry back into academia to pivot his focus toward digital footprints as proxies for human behaviour, reflecting a pragmatic bent for problem-driven research. Based in Exeter, he brings a rare mix of hands-on engineering, theoretical rigour and policy-relevant insight into the misinformation arena.
