Francesco Calabrese’s Experience

Research Scientist

MIT

(Educational Institution; Higher Education industry)

September 2009 — Present (3 months)

Francesco is coordinating the Urban Networks and Society group at MIT. He studies networks and their interaction with people and space. Some examples are:
- analysis and modeling of the social dynamics of cities through networked telecommunications data
- analysis of data from telecommunication and transportation networks to infer information about the functioning of different urban locations, to support research in fields such as urban design, infrastructure deployment, traffic management, and emergency relief.
Postdoctoral Associate

MIT

(Educational Institution; Higher Education industry)

November 2007 — August 2009 (1 year 10 months)

Research in computer applications in Urban Planning
-Distributed control systems (foundations for reconfigurable and autonomous cyber-physical systems)
-Pervasive and urban computing (development of a real-time data exchange platform, in which city inhabitants can participate as both data providers and consumers)
-Urban studies using data gathered from various networks (e.g. cell phone networks)
Research Assistant

MIT

(Educational Institution; 10,001 or more employees; Higher Education industry)

March 2006 — October 2007 (1 year 8 months)

The research concerns the development of algorithms and procedures in order to elaborate the mobile phone data and design dynamical models which easily describe the automobile traffic and the people flow.
Main works developed:
