CNDay 2019
CNDay 2019 took place on Thursday 29th August 2019, at the Sainsbury Laboratory, Cambridge. CNDay brings together researchers with an interest in complex networks from a wide variety of fields, from biology to physics, computer science, sociology and business.
We had a fantastic line up of speakers this year, and some of the slides are available below:
Professor Danielle Bassett (Professor of Bioengineering and Professor of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Pennsylvania). In her keynote lecture entitled "Networks Thinking Themselves" Prof Bassett will describe human brain networks and the networks of relational knowledge that they learn. Slides
Dr Edoardo Gallo (University Lecturer in Economics at Cambridge University and Official Fellow at Queens' College). Dr Gallo's work focuses on networks, experimental and behavioral economics. He will talk about "Cooperation in networks". Slides
Dr Ginestra Bianconi (Reader in Applied Mathematics at Queen Mary University of London and Fellow at The Alan Turing Institute). Dr Bianconi's talk focused on "Multilayer Networks: Structure and Function", the topic of her recent book . Slides
Professor Charlotte Deane (Professor of Structural Bioinformatics, Head of Department of Statistics at Oxford University and Fellow at The Alan Turing Institute). Prof Deane works on biological networks, protein structure and immunoinformatics and spoke about "Measuring rank robustness in scored protein interaction networks".
Professor Roberta Sinatra (Assistant Professor in Computer Science at ITU Copenhagen).
Sinatra's work is at the forefront of computational social science. She discussed the Science of science and the science of success in her talk on "Physics, interdisciplinarity and the chaperone effect". Slides
Professor Ronaldo Menezes (Professor of Data and Network Science and Head of Computer Science at the University of Exeter). Prof Menezes' work focuses on camplex networks and spans from bio-inspired computing to human dynamics. His talk was entitled "On the Scale, Concentration and Dynamics of Crime."
Dr Luca Aiello (Senior Research Scientist at Nokia Bell Labs, Cambridge). Dr Aiello works at the intersection of computational social science, network science, and urban informatics. He spoke about coloured links in social networks. Slides
The full programme with abstracts and poster titles can be found here.
The prize for best poster went to Florian Klimm for his poster on "Functional module detection through integration of single-cell RNA sequencing data with protein interaction networks."
You can also read a blog post about the event here. It was written by George Gifford, a PhD student studying dynamic functional connectivity in early psychosis at the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology, and Neuroscience, KCL.
CNDay 2019 was kindly supported by The Alan Turing Institute, Cambridge Big Data and King's College Cambridge.

CNDay 2014
The third Cambridge Networks Day took place on the 23rd of May 2014 at the Sainsbury Laboratory. It brought together 150 researchers (from various institutes across the UK) with an interest in Complex Networks. It would not have been possible without the generous sponsorship of Amadeus Capital, RealVNC, Cambridge University Press, DueDil, the University of Cambridge and the Sainsbury Laboratory.
The full programme is available here.
