Federico Botta is a Senior Lecturer in Data Science at the University of Exeter with nine years of experience applying data science, AI and network theory to understand human behaviour from large-scale digital traces. His research blends complexity science, behavioural and computational social science to extract insights from mobile, internet and sensor data, building interpretable models of both individual and collective behaviour. Trained with a PhD and MSc in Complexity Science and strong physics foundations, he moves fluidly between theoretical methods and applied analytics. Based in Exeter, he brings an academic rigor to practical problems—often leveraging novel data streams and methods that reveal social patterns invisible to traditional surveys.
