Title: Modeling and Analysis of Dynamic Social Networks
Mohsen did his
undergraduate studies in Electrical Engineering at the Shiraz University of
Technology. He then did his master studies again in Electrical Engineering at
the National University of Singapore in 2009. He did his PhD under supervision
of Prof. Brian. D.O. Anderson at Research School of Engineering inthe
Australian National University in 2014. He iscurrently a post-doctoral
researcher at the NewcastleUniversity, Australia. His research interests
includesecurity, control, estimation and optimization for cyber-physical
systems and analysis of social networks.In the past, social networks consisted
of a limited number of individuals discussing an issue. However, with the
ever-growing speed of technology, this number has increased exponentially.
Individuals in a social network can influence each other's opinions on various
topics. Hence, it is of utmost importance to comprehend the underlying
structure of opinion dynamics in social networks. Understanding how opinions
are formed in a social network and the patterns of relationships among
individuals can help us realize the weaknesses, strengths, and interests of
individuals. In this talk, I introduce some of the existing model sets that
have been proposed for capturing evolution of opinions within social groups.
Several model sets will be introduced and relations between them will be
analyzed
