Structure and stability of complex networks.

  • Reuven Cohen | Weizmann Institute

Many studies in recent years have shown that many network, such as the Internet and the WWW, as well as other technological, bilogical, and social networks are scale free networks. That is, they posses a power-law degree distribution. I will discuss the topological properties of generalized and scale free random networks, their stability under various form of node failures and attacks, and immunization of networks against virus spreading. I will also discuss several other related network models.

Reuven Cohen completed his Ph.D in Physics in Bar-Ilan University in 2003 under the supervision of Prof. Shlomo Havlin. His study focused on a statistical mechincs view of complex networks. Currently, he is a postdoctoral fellow at the Dept. of Mathematics and Computer Science and the Weizmann Institute of Science. His research focused on phase transitions and critical phenomena, complex networks, distributed algorithms in multiple mobile robot environments.
