Profile
Dr Matteo Mazzamurro is a lecturer in Data Science at Queen Mary University of London (QMUL), in the transnational Queen Mary School Hainan programme.
He holds an integrated Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Mathematics from Imperial College London (2017) and a PhD in Urban Science from the University of Warwick (2022). His doctoral research, supervised by Professor Weisi Guo and Professor Oleg Pikhurko, focused on graph entropy and its applications to the historical evolution of transportation networks. Before joining QMUL, he worked as a postdoctoral researcher at Aarhus University (2023-2024) in the Centre for Urban Network Evolutions and the Social Resilience Lab, led by Dr Tom Brughmans.
Matteo is one of the organisers of the Barcelona Past Networks Summer School, an annual event in Barcelona that introduces network theory and practice to humanities scholars with no prior mathematical and computational background.
Research
Research Interests:
Matteo’s research spans both theoretical and applied aspects of network science.
His applied work focuses on the historical evolution of transportation networks, with recent projects analysing ancient Roman roads and the expansion and decline of British and French railway networks in the 19th and early 20th century.
His theoretical work explores extremal values of network entropy measures and their role in developing metrics for network centralisation.
