Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolFariba Karimi is a computational social scientist and network physicist with a decade of experience applying data science, complex-systems modeling, and programming to socio-technical problems. She leads research programs on fairness in networks as an ERC Starting Grant PI while serving as professor at Graz University of Technology and group leader at the Complexity Science Hub Vienna. Her work spans dynamical networks, diffusion and cascade processes, and agent-based models informed by empirical phone and social media data, bridging theory and real-world inference. Trained as a physicist with a PhD in Computational Science, she has a track record of translating rigorous modeling into policy-relevant insights about contagion, cooperation and systemic risk. Notably, she combines deep academic leadership with hands-on computational expertise, making reproducible, data-driven methods a core part of her research toolkit.
