Dániel Barabási has a physics B.Sc. from the University of Notre Dame, where he worked on network models of brain connectivity, and biophysics PhD from Harvard. His research blends neuroscience, network science, and machine learning, heralding the perspective that the brain is not a complex entity molded solely by experience, but is a fundamentally simple self-assembling system, governed by genetic processes during embryonic development. Outside of research, his hobbies revolve around sci-art and going fast on specialized equipment, from bikes to skis, much to his mother’s dismay.
