Ariadna Fosch obtained her Bachelor’s in Biomedical Engineering from the Pomeu Fabra University in 2019, and a MSc in Systems Biology from the Maastricht University in 2021. Now she is a PhD student at Cosnet BIFI, under the co-supervision of Yamir Moreno and Alberto Aletá. Her research focuses on applying complex systems methods to the management of different societal challenges. More specifically, she aims to provide data-driven methods to aid policymakers in managing crises, like the Covid-19 pandemic, or designing sustainable policies against climate change. While pursuing her PhD, she worked as a Junior Researcher at the Institute for Scientific Interchange (ISI) and the CENTAI Institute, both based in Turin, Italy. She also contributed to the writing of an IUCN report, helped organise several conferences, and remains actively engaged in the complexity science community. She serves on the steering committee of the Winter Workshop on Complex Systems and is a founding member of Complexity and Networks Community and Resources (CORE).

Junfeng Fan
JunFeng Fan studied at Inner Mongolia University of Technology(China) from 2008 to 2012 and received the BS in Engineering. From 2014 to 2017, he worked as a programmer at Beijing SouFun Science&Technology Development Co.,Ltd. Then, he studied at Tianjin University of Technology (China) from 2020 to 2022 and obtained the MS in Engineering. Now he is a Ph.D. student at Cosnet Lab, BIFI, who are supported by the China Scholarship Council. He is interested in coupled spreading dynamics between epidemics and awareness on multiplex, higher-order interaction, human behavioural changes, complex networks modelling and analysis.
Marco Fernández da Silva
I completed my undergraduate and Master’s degrees in Physics at the University of Zaragoza in July 2023 and July 2024, respectively. My research interests span a wide range of topics, from uncovering insights into coarse-graining methods to studying social behaviors in cows, as well as exploring economic systems. I am currently pursuing my PhD, “Unraveling Complexity through AI in Data-Rich Systems,” under the supervision of Alberto Aleta and Yamir Moreno, with funding from a DGA grant. As part of my academic journey, I have participated in conferences such as “Theoretical Challenges in Network Science” in Seoul and attended the school “Complex Networks: Theory, Methods, and Applications” in Como.
