Murilo S. Baptista

Murilo S. Baptista received the Ph.D. degree from the University of São Paulo, Brazil, on the response of non-linear dynamical systems under external perturbations. He worked as a Postdoctoral Researcher with the University of Maryland, College Park, MD, USA, from 1997 to 1999, the University of São Paulo, Brazil, from 1999 to 2003, the University of Potsdam, Germany, from 2004 to 2006, as a Guest Scientist with the Max Planck Institute for the Physics of Complex Systems, Germany, from 2007 to 2008, and as a Guest Assistant Professor with the Centre for Applied Mathematics at the University of Oporto, Portugal, from 2008 to 2009. He has been a Reader with the University of Aberdeen since 2014, where he joined as a Senior Lecturer in 2009. One of the main themes of his research interests include unraveling the complex relationship among information, collective behavior, and structure in large networked complex systems for their posterior modeling, prediction, and control, using not only analytical but also data science approaches. He has been devoting special attention to the modeling of the smarter grid, the brain, biological and artificial neural networks, socio-economic-political systems, and in wireless communication with chaos. He has published 160 journal and conference papers, 12 book chapters, and he holds one patent in wireless communication. Since 2019, he has been a Board Director of the Journal Information (MDPI). He is a permanent Fellow of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation.
