About Tim Evans
I am a Senior Lecturer (equivalent to an associate professor) in the Theoretical Physics group, a member of the cross-disciplinary Centre for Complexity Science, at Imperial College London.
Currently, I am interested in ideas falling under the broad area of complex systems. In particular the properties of Complex Networks, such as the "six degrees of separation", intrigue me. From a theoretical perspective, I am interested in how we need to change the way we look at networks when there are strong constraints. These could be internal constraints creating groups in networks, the problem of community detection in networks, or it could be the behaviour of networks constrained by time and networks constrained by space.
I look at many different areas but I am particularly interested in social systems such as bibliometrics (citation patterns and related problems), cultural transmission and archaeology.
