About SUNLab

The Social Urban Networks (SUN) Lab, led by Professor Esteban Moro, focuses on the intersection of big data and computational social science, with special attention to human dynamics, collective intelligence, social networks, and urban mobility.

We apply our research to problems like natural disaster management, food accessibility, and economic segregation in cities. By analyzing large datasets of human behavior and applying tools from physics, applied mathematics, complex systems, and network science, we aim to advance our understanding of social systems and transform our findings into actionable policies for resilient and prosperous societies.
