Yueting Han
Hello!
I am currently a third-year PhD student in MathSys IILink opens in a new window, under the joint supervision of Dr Paolo TurriniLink opens in a new window (Computer Science) and Dr Marya BazziLink opens in a new window (Maths). I am an enrichment student at the Alan Turing InstituteLink opens in a new window (2024/25).
My research direction is network modelling of behavioural ecology in social media (e.g., Facebook, Twitter). Topics of particular interest are social network dynamics, mesoscale structure (e.g., community detection, bow-tie structure), agent-based modelling, network epidemiology. During my research, I pay special attention to network visualisation.
