Hello. My name is Alberto Pepe (also: Alberto Pepe Gentile). I live in Los Angeles, California. I was born and raised in the small wine-making town of Manduria, in Southern Italy.
I recently completed a Ph.D. at the University of California, Los Angeles with a dissertation titled Structure and Evolution of Scientific Collaboration Networks in a Modern Research Collaboratory.
I am interested in studying complex socio-technical systems: networks of people, artifacts, data and ideas. In particular, I study scientific circles, the making of scientific knowledge, information flows and collaboration.
This is my personal site. Elsewhere on the webs, you can find me on twitter (@albertopepe), browse my bookmarks on del.icio.us, look at my photos on flickr, check out my reading habits on goodreads, and listen to my music library on last.fm. You can reach me via email at apepe@ucla.edu.
