Three researchers of the Centre for Complex Systems (CCS) have been ranked among the Top 100 UK Scientists in their respective disciplines by Research.com in its 2026 evaluation. The assessment is based on bibliometric data and impact measures.

Christian Beck, Professor of Applied Mathematics and Head of the CCS, was ranked 64th in Mathematics. His research focuses on data-driven analysis and stochastic modelling of complex systems with applications to real-world problems like sustainable energy systems, power grids, and air pollution.

Vito Latora, Professor of Applied Mathematics and CCS Deputy Head, and Ginestra Bianconi, Professor of Applied Mathematics, were ranked 19th and 80th, respectively, in Engineering & Technology. Vito Latora investigates complex networks of interacting dynamical units, with applications ranging from social to biological systems. Ginestra Bianconi explores the interplay between geometry, topology and dynamics on complex networks, including applications in statistical mechanics and gravity theory.
