Francisco Rodrigues is a Professor of Complex Systems and Data Science at the Institute of Mathematics and Computer Science (ICMC), University of São Paulo - Brazil. Francisco is also an editor of the Journal of Complex Networks, Chaos, Solitons & Fractals, an associate editor of Journal of Computational Science, a co-editor of the Europhysics Letters (EPL), an associate editor of the Journal of Physics: Complexity and an editor of the New Journal of Physics (NJP). From February 2018 to February 2019, Francisco was a visiting professor at the University of Warwick, the U.K., Mathematics Institute, working at the Centre for Complexity Science. He was awarded a Leverhulme Visiting Professorship. Francisco holds a degree in Physics (2001, B.A. degree) and a master's degree in Computational Physics (2004), both from the University of São Paulo. In 2007, he got his PhD in Physics from the Physics Institute of São Carlos (University of São Paulo). After that, he was a post-doctoral researcher at the same institute with a Fapesp fellowship (2007-2010). During the last years, he has been working on several problems related to the structure and dynamics of complex systems and data science. He is interested in epidemic models, causal inference, machine learning, synchronization of coupled oscillators and social dynamics. These studies have been applied in several areas, including epidemiology, neuroscience, systems biology, ecology, economy, climate dynamics, and transportation networks. Francisco has authored more than 150 scientific papers in international journals, including Nature Communications, Nature Ecology, Physical Review Letters, Advances in Physics, Physics Reports, Physical Review X, and Climate Dynamics, among others. These papers have received more than 10k citations (Google Scholar) (h-index 40, i10-index 103).
