About ANSNA

The Australian Network for Social Network Analysis (ANSNA) aims to build greater coordination and collaboration among social network researchers and practitioners in Australia and overseas, and raise the profile of Australian social network research nationally and internationally. It is the national focal point for SNA in Australia, providing information about resources, connections, training in SNA, conferences, and more. ANSNA is endorsed by the International Network for Social Network Analysis (INSNA).

Please contact the following ANSNA Committee Members for any information regarding the SNA community in Australia:

Dr Pavel Krivitsky (ANSNA 2024 President) develops methods and models for analysing complex network data and processes with applications in epidemiology and the social sciences. Dr Krivitsky is particularly interested in unusual or indirectly observed or sampled network data. Dr Krivitsky’s work has a strong computational component, and develop and maintain a number of popular R packages on CRAN.

Dr Angela Guerrero (ANSNA 2024 Vice President) is a Senior Research Fellow in the school of Architecture and Built Environment at Queensland University of Technology. Dr. Guerrero’s research draws on social network theory and methods to investigate human networks at various levels of social organisation, incl. peer network, governance networks, global trade networks. Her interest lies on understanding the influence of social networks on decision-making processes and their effect on social and environmental outcomes. Dr. Guerrero also investigates the interactions between humans and nature and the structures that are formed by those interactions that can lead to resilient systems.
