    Research

    My research mainly involves analyzing and modeling complex and dynamic networks at all scales, such as biological networks, and human interactions. I apply tools of Computational Biology, Natural Language Processing, Complex Network Analysis, and Machine Learning for better understanding observed processes, such as gene-disease associations, social interaction, mechanisms of influence, and contagion spread in social and biological networks.
