Open Positions
I am looking for 2 PhD students to start in Fall 2023 to work on projects broadly on network science.
1 student with interests in topics such as propagation of (mis)information and influence in social networks, epidemic spread, population polarization, and robustness & cascading failures in critical infrastructure systems (smart-grid, transportation, etc.). There is strong possibility to be co-advised with Prof. Kathleen Carley from the School of Computer Science.
1 student with general interest in networks and graphs, with applications including secure distributed computing (e.g., in settings like Internet of Things) and payment channel networks (e.g., the Lightning Network).
For both positions, strong mathematical background is required and strong computer programming skills is a big plus. If you are interested, please apply to CMU-ECE PhD program and mention my name in your application. Sending me an e-mail indicating your interest would also be helpful!
Research Interests
