Dr. Taylor is an expert on the development of network-based models for complex systems arising in the social, biological and physical science. His interdisciplinary work interfaces computer simulation, theory development, and empirical data, and he often collaborates closely with domain experts across diverse fields. Dr. Taylor is developing data-science algorithms that use topological data analysis, multilinear algebra and/or quantum information theory. Prior to joining UW, he held positions at the Statistical and Applied Mathematical Sciences Institute (2013-2015), the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (2015-2017), and the State University of New York in Buffalo (2017-2023). He holds a PhD in Applied Mathematics from the University of Colorado, Boulder in 2013.
