Francisco Rodrigues (1976; Araraquara, São Paulo) is a Brazilian Professor of Complex Systems and Data Science at the Institute of Mathematics and Computer Science (ICMC), University of São Paulo - Brazil.

Early life
Francisco was born in Araraquara, São Paulo, and is a descendant of a Portuguese and German family that migrated to Brazil in the late 19th century. Francisco holds a degree in Physics (2001, B.A. degree) and a master’s degree in Computational Physics (2004), both from the University of São Paulo. In 2007, he got his PhD in Physics from the Physics Institute of São Carlos (University of São Paulo). After that, he was a post-doctoral researcher at the same institute with a Fapesp fellowship (2007-2010).

Career
At the beginning of 2010, Francisco got a tenure-track position at the ICMC as a lecturer and researcher. He became an Associate Professor at the end of 2013 and a Full Professor in 2022. Francisco has been a merit scholar of the Brazilian National Research Council (CNPq) since 2011, a distinction held only by a small fraction of Brazilian academics.

Francisco is also an editor of Chaos, Solitons & Fractals, an editor of Journal of Computational Science, a co-editor of the Europhysics Letters (EPL), and an associate editor of the Journal of Physics: Complexity. From February 2018 to February 2019, Francisco was a visiting professor at the University of Warwick, the UK, Mathematics Institute, working at the Centre for Complexity Science. He was awarded a Leverhulme Visiting Professorship.

Research
Francisco published more than 110 papers and has provided many significant contributions to Network Science, including (i) the method for classification of complex networks, which received more than 2,500 citations, (ii) the identification of cluster synchronization in second-order Kuramoto models , (iii) the observation of continuous phase transition in the Maki–Thompson rumour model , (iv) the identification of influential spreaders in complex networks, and (v) the observation of disease localization in multilayer networks.

During the last years, Francisco has been working on several problems related to the structure and dynamics of complex systems and data science. He is interested in epidemic spreading models, causal inference and synchronization of coupled oscillators. These studies have been applied in several areas, including epidemiology, neuroscience, systems biology, ecology, financial market, climate dynamics, and transportation networks.
