Research Interests

The accelerated evolution of online social interactions and information systems has brought an exponential growth in their structural complexity. The dynamics of these systems are not entirely regulated or engineered, but they emerge and evolve largely in unexpected and unpredictable ways. In light of this, understanding the basic structural forces driving these processes is crucial for supporting their healthy function, allowing further growth, and ensuring the ability to harness their benefits. My research combines analysis of traces of activity in the Internet with modeling and prediction of structure in networks using algorithmic, statistical, and social scientific models. My thesis advisor is Prof. Robert Kleinberg.
