Chico Q. Camargo

Hi, I'm Chico!

I am a Senior Lecturer (or Tenured Assistant Professor) in Computer Science at the University of Exeter. I also have a couple of other roles:

• Computational Social Science Theme Lead at the Institute of Data Science and Artificial Intelligence
• Deputy Director at the Centre for Climate Communication and Data Science
• Research Associate at the Oxford Internet Institute, University of Oxford
• Visiting Professor at the Department of English Language and Literature, Ewha Womans University, Seoul
• Turing Fellow at the Alan Turing Institute
• and director of the CC Lab.

I am also a science communicator, having written for Science, HuffPost Brazil, The Conversation, and produced over 50 videos for YouTube.

My research interests cover the intersection of computational social science, complex systems, political communication, data science, cultural evolution, cultural sociology, and information theory. In summary, I study how ideas spread and evolve, mixing data science with theories about human behaviour, culture, and society.
