  • About

    Frank Takes is a research fellow in the CORPNET group at the University of Amsterdam. He obtained his PhD in computer science at Leiden University, where he is currently also appointed as an assistant professor. His interest is among other things in computational social science, and his work with PETGOV colleagues focuses on questions related to the analysis of corporate and economic networks, in particular networks of interlocking directorates, as well as network science related problems in general.

    Keywords: corporate governance, interlocking directorates, social networks, network science
