Sara Venturini

I am a Postdoctoral Associate at the MOBS Lab within the Network Science Institute at Northeastern University, mentored by Alessandro Vespignani.

Prior to this, I was a Postdoctoral Fellow at the MIT Senseable City Lab at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2024, mentored by Carlo Ratti and Paolo Santi.

I completed my Ph.D. in Computational Mathematics in 2023 at the University of Padova in Italy, under the supervision of Prof. Francesco Rinaldi (University of Padova) and Prof. Francesco Tudisco (The University of Edinburgh, Gran Sasso Science Institute), where I also obtained a Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Mathematics.

In 2022, I received a fellowship within the AccelNet-Multinet exchange program, which allowed me to visit Indiana University in Bloomington for 6 months to work with Prof. Santo Fortunato

I enjoy working on the computational analysis of complex networks and their real-world applications. My research interests include complex networks, optimization methods, machine learning, and the science of science.
