Albert-László Barabási, Northeastern University distinguished professor of physics and co-founder of the relatively new field of network science, was honored for his contributions to the discipline and presented with the Euler Award by the Network Science Society.

Barabási, who is also the Robert Gray Dodge professor of network science at Northeastern, called the award “the greatest honor I could have dreamed of receiving.”
