A large-scale empirical investigation of specialization in criminal career
Scientific Reports, 2023 We use a comprehensive longitudinal dataset on criminal acts over 6 years in a European country to study specialization in criminal careers. We present a method to cluster crime categories by their relative co-occurrence within criminal careers, deriving

Efficient computation of optimal temporal walks under waiting-time constraints
Applied Network Science, 2020 Node connectivity plays a central role in temporal network analysis. We provide a broad study of various concepts of walks in temporal graphs, that is, graphs with fixed vertex sets but arc sets changing over time. Taking into account the temporal aspect
