David Chavalarias

David Chavalarias is Director of Research at the CNRS lab Center for Social Analysis and Mathematics (CAMS) and is the head of the Complex Systems Institute of Paris Ile-de-France (CNRS, ISC-PIF – http://iscpif.fr). He studies the social and cognitive dynamics, both from the modeling and data-mining perspective, with an interdisciplinary approach grounded in cognitive and complex systems sciences. His work on science evolution features new methods for the reconstruction of science dynamics from academic productions, as well as models of collective dynamics of scientific discovery. He also has contributed to the development of several macroscopes and visualization tools for mapping knowledge dynamics from large corpora : academic digital repositories, online media or press.
