Summary
Gerardo Iñiguez is an associate professor and interdisciplinary researcher with nine years of experience applying network science, computational social science, and complex-systems methods across academia and industry. Based in Helsinki, he leads research at Tampere University while holding visiting professorships at CEU, Aalto and UNAM, and co-founded Predify to translate social-data insights into practice. His work blends rigorous statistical physics–inspired models with machine learning and cloud-enabled analytics (Python/R, C/C++, Google Cloud, SQL) to study opinion dynamics, information spreading and socio-digital behavior. He has a strong pedigree from Aalto and UNAM, extensive international collaborations (Oxford, ENS Lyon, Tartu) and industry experience in game analytics, which gives him an unusual edge in turning theoretical models into deployable analytics. Outside research he writes fiction and co-develops videogames, reflecting a creative drive that informs both his scientific and entrepreneurial work.
