Albert-László Barabási (network science)

Albert-László Barabási is a prominent scientist known for his work in network science, which studies how various systems, like social networks or the internet, are interconnected. He is best recognized for developing theories that explain the structure of networks, notably the "scale-free" network model, which shows that some nodes (or entities) are highly connected while most are not. This concept helps us understand the dynamics of information spread, the resilience of networks, and various phenomena in biology, sociology, and technology. Barabási's research emphasizes the importance of connections and patterns in complex systems.
