Social media has begun to reform the face of human life. We need to understand how our new societies work.

I a professor of physics and faculty member at the Physics Department and Institute for Cognitive and Brain Sciences of Shahid Beheshti University. I received my Ph.D. degree from Physics department of Sharif University of Technology in 2005. I has been a visitor researcher at the Central European University (CEU) in from Janurary 2016.  I have done several projects and published many papers in the fields of social and financial networks in these years. My fields of research are complex networks and social media. My focus of research is in a system with a large number of interacting agents, whose aggregate behavior is nonlinear. However, most appreciated data-driven approaches to study them try to infer the complex interaction network of the system agents, neglecting the cause and consequences of the macroscopic collective behavior of systems. I am interested in understanding and modeling the modern society with respect to the perspective of culture, market, business and management with the tools of different disciplines. Problems, which historically were dedicated to special fields are now common topics of research amount different disciplines. The Internet, especially social media, is playing a crucial role in this new scenario of doing interdisciplinary research.
