Matteo Chinazzi is a Research Associate Professor at Northeastern University (Department of Physics), Roux Institute member, and Core Faculty at the Network Science Institute. He conducts research at the intersection between network science, data science, epidemiology, economics, and artificial intelligence.

His research interests include: a) the development of computational and analytical models to study and forecast the spatial spread of infectious diseases; b) the development of agent-based models to create realistic representations of population dynamics; c) the study of human mobility and contact patterns using high-resolution large-scale de-identified location data; d) the development of computational frameworks that combine mechanistic epidemic models with machine learning/deep learning models; and e) the study of the evolution and structure of science and innovation. He is the lead developer of the current version of the Global Epidemic and Mobility model (GLEAM, https://www.gleamproject.org) and the coordinator of the Network Science Institute COVID-19 Mobility project (http://covid19.gleamproject.org/mobility).
