Dr Maziar Nekovee is a Senior Scientist at BT Research and a Royal Society Industry Fellow at the Centre for Computational Science, University College London.  He obtained his MSc. in electrical engineering (cum laude) from Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands and his PhD in theoretical and computational physics from the University of Nijmegen, also in the Netherlands. Dr Nekovee’s research cuts across several disciplines and involves extensive collaborations with industrial and academic researchers.

Current research areas include theory and applications of complex networks, including spreading phenomena in human, computer and social networks, wireless vehicular communication networks and their applications to intelligent transportation systems, and cognitive radio networks. He is the author of over 50 refereed papers in international journals and conferences.

Dr Nekovee was a guest editor of the focus issue of the New Journal of Physics on “Complex Networked Systems: Theory and Applications, with S. Havlin and Y. Moreno (2007), http://www.iop.org/EJ/abstract/1367-2630/9/6/E02, and a guest editor for the special issue of ACM/Springer MONET on Cogntive Radio Oriented Wireless Networks.
