Visiting CNR-ISTI in Pisa

For my SoBigData++ Transnational Access visit, I spent one month in Pisa working on evolutionary game theory and higher-order network science at CNR-ISTI. The main purpose of my TNA experience was to begin a new project studying the emergence of cooperation in group interactions. In this project, the goal is to develop models of temporally evolving group interactions (using hypergraphs) that are changing according to rules based on the dynamics of evolutionary games.
