LUCIA FALZON

Lucia Falzon is a Senior Fellow of the Defence Science and Technology (DST) Group in the Australian Department of Defence. Since joining DSTO in 1990 and up to her retirement in 2019, she was involved in various endeavours, ranging from the development of techniques for performance analysis of communications systems to the research and development of modelling and analysis tools to support operational planning and, more recently, leading an initiative in mathematical modelling of social phenomena and dynamic social network analysis. A Chief Defence Scientist Fellowship (2015-2018) enabled her to focus on the mechanisms of diffusion over social media networks, laying foundations for an integrated capability for data analysis from open online networks. Her current research is on methods for temporal analysis of interaction networks and the formal characterisation of social media as a system for spreading information and social attitudes. She is an Honorary Fellow at the School of Psychological Sciences, University of Melbourne, and a Visiting Fellow at The Centre for Defence Communications and Information Networking at the University of Adelaide.
