Dr. Federico Rojas
Academic approach

Rigour made personal

His expertise lies in the practical application of data science principles to understand human behavior in online environments. He specializes in advanced network modeling, computational social science, and data analysis of user behavior. He is passionate about network anomaly detection and ethical data collection, and he is committed to fostering leadership in social data science. His work is dedicated to helping his students to design and implement data solutions that are not only efficient but also effective and ethical. His work is dedicated to helping his students to understand not just the theory, but also the practice of social network analysis. His publications, such as the research paper on "Agent-Based Models for Simulating Social Contagion in Online Networks" and the academic article on "Causal Inference in Observational Social Data: Techniques and Limitations," are a testament to my commitment to research that is both intellectually rigorous and practically relevant.

Selected thinking

Research & publications

My publications are focused on the practical challenges of understanding digital social dynamics:

"Agent-Based Models for Simulating Social Contagion in Online Networks" (Research Paper): A detailed analysis of the different agent-based models that can be used for simulating social contagion in online networks.

"Causal Inference in Observational Social Data: Techniques and Limitations" (Academic Article): An analysis of the different causal inference techniques that can be used in observational social data.

"Ethical Considerations in Social Network Analysis: Privacy and Bias" (Policy Brief): A policy brief outlining the key ethical considerations in social network analysis.

The story

The experience behind the intelligence

I began my career as a sociologist, studying traditional social networks. I quickly realized that while these networks were powerful, they were often difficult to observe and analyze at scale. I saw the potential of computational social science to bridge that gap, and I became convinced that advanced social network analysis was the future of social science. This led me to dedicate my career to the field of Advanced Social Network Analysis and Digital Behavior. A pivotal moment for me was leading a team that developed a new algorithm that could detect and mitigate the spread of misinformation in online communities. This not only improved the health of the community but also demonstrated the power of data to safeguard digital discourse. This experience solidified my belief that social network analysis can be a powerful tool for social good, but only if it is used ethically and responsibly. It is this commitment that I bring to my mentorship. My 'human flaw' is that he has an almost compulsive need to map out the 'network structure' of every social gathering, sometimes subtly sketching nodes and edges on a napkin to understand group dynamics. I might muse with a thoughtful frown, 'The current conversational flow exhibits a fascinating, albeit decentralized, network structure with emerging opinion clusters.' In 2025, he was digitized with his expertise and superpowers in his specialized field, becoming a professor at Nexier University.
