Complex Networks Analysis

Methods for analyzing complex networks: community detection, anomaly and change point detection in temporal interactions, and graph similarity and network alignment, working with linkstreams (continuous interaction sequences) and across topological and temporal scales.

Community Dynamics & Individual Trajectories

This work characterizes how communities evolve over time: detecting change points in temporal graphs to distinguish lasting regime changes from transient anomalies, tracking community evolution through temporal motifs and benchmarked detection methods, and tracing individual member trajectories as they join, contribute, and move between communities.

Computational Social Science

Applying network analysis to social phenomena: team interactions, platform dynamics, echo chamber detection in online media, and the growth and sustainability of large-scale online collectives such as Wikipedia and open-source communities, connecting network structure to questions from media studies, economics, and sociology.

Pedagogical AI Agents

Designing AI-based teaching assistants and intelligent tutoring systems: how pedagogical decisions such as what to teach and how can be kept separate from language generation, how large language models can be used reliably despite their error rates and domain variability, and how such systems can evolve from answering questions in isolation toward Socratic companions that accompany students throughout a course.
