Thesis Title: Structural evolution and innovation diffusion in an online forum: an agent-based approach to social mechanisms in MMOGS
About
My PhD project is about diffusion of innovation inside a community of online MMO gamers.
My aim is to focus on mechanism of network evolution and innovation diffusion using a longitudinal dataset that covers 2 years in the life of the community.
My methodology is social network analysis and agent based simulations, which I am developing using SLAPP (see http://eco83.econ.unito.it/terna/slapp/) and the Enthought Python Distribution (see http://code.enthought.com/).
I've successfully defended my PhD Thesis on May 2009. I am now looking for opportunities to advance my research on those topics.
