Overview

Yamir Moreno is affiliated with the University of Zaragoza in Spain and has focused their research primarily within the field of Physics and Astronomy. Their work concentrates notably on Statistical and Nonlinear Physics, with significant contributions also in Modeling and Simulation, Sociology and Political Science, Epidemiology, and Economics and Econometrics.

The main topics in Moreno's research include complex network analysis techniques, COVID-19 epidemiological studies, opinion dynamics and social influence, evolutionary game theory and cooperation, data-driven disease surveillance, COVID-19 pandemic impacts, and bioinformatics and genomic networks.

Recent papers authored by or involving Moreno include:

  • Modelling the impact of testing, contact tracing and household quarantine on second waves of COVID-19 (2020, Nature Human Behaviour)
  • The physics of higher-order interactions in complex systems (2021, Nature Physics)
  • Evolutionary dynamics of higher-order interactions in social networks (2021, Zurich Open Repository and Archive, University of Zurich)
  • Modeling the impact of social distancing, testing, contact tracing and household quarantine on second-wave scenarios of the COVID-19 epidemic (2020, bioRxiv, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)
  • Phase transitions and stability of dynamical processes on hypergraphs (2021, Zaguan, University of Zaragoza Repository)

Frequent co-authors collaborating with Moreno include Alberto Aleta, Guilherme Ferraz de Arruda, Carlos Gracia-Lázaro, Francisco A. Rodrigues, and Alessandro Vespignani.

The publication venues where Moreno has often published are:

  • arXiv (Cornell University)
  • bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)
  • Chaos Solitons & Fractals
  • Physical Review E
  • Nature Communications

This body of work spans diverse complex systems and epidemiological modeling approaches, with a notable emphasis on the dynamics of networks and social influence processes, as well as responses to pandemic scenarios such as COVID-19.
