Research interests

I am interested in developing methods and algorithms for detecting and/or recovering structure in large time-dependent data. I am equally interested in applying such tools to real world problems in areas such as online media, biology, digital humanities, and finance. My main area of research is Network Science. Topics of particular interest are time-dependent networks, mesoscale structure (e.g., community structure and core-periphery structure), multilayer networks, stochastic block models, combinatorial optimization, and spectral optimization.
