Bastian Prasse

In May 2021, Bastian Prasse obtained his PhD cum laude, the highest distinction at Delft University of Technology, under the supervision of Professor Piet Van Mieghem. As a graduate of the double degree programme Top Industrial Managers for Europe, he obtained an M.Sc. degree in Systems and Control Theory at the Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden, and an M.Sc. degree in Computer Engineering (Dean’s List, awarded to the top 5% of graduates) at RWTH Aachen University, Germany, both in 2015. In 2012, he obtained a B.Sc. degree in Computer Engineering (Dean’s List) at RWTH Aachen University. He was a recipient of the Texas Instruments and ICE Bachelor Thesis Award and was awarded the German National Scholarship and the North Rhine-Westphalia Scholarship.

His main research interests lie in the analysis, prediction and network reconstruction for dynamics on networks. In particular, his work focusses on epidemics on networks, and the relation of structure and function in brain networks. Also see the Google scholar profile.

Below are two presentations of his work:
