About
Eszter Bokányi is a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Amsterdam. She holds a PhD in Physics from Eötvös Loránd University, Budapest. Her work focuses on network science and computational social science, exploring how the structural properties of large-scale social networks can be linked to persistent societal problems such as inequality or segregation. She is particularly interested in examining the connections between urban spaces and social ties in spatial networks.
