Research themes

  • Directed Complex Networks
  • Dynamics of Complex Networks
  • Biologically Inspired Neural

Research activity

The main focus of Niall's research is studying the hierarchical organisation of directed complex networks and how this influences their structural and dynamical properties. He is interested in how these phenomena apply to real-world systems.
