I develop data-science methods and theory using generalizations of graphs including temporal, multiplex and multilayer networks, and simplicial complexes.
My methods include spectral theory, perturbation theory, random matrix theory, bifurcation theory, information theory, latent geometry, and homology.
I develop theory for structural/dynamical mechanisms for multiscale phenomena including self-organization in complex systems.
I study neurocomputation including mathematically guided designs for artificial neural networks and neural coding theory for biological neuronal networks.
I tackle domain-driven questions through interdisciplinary collaborations with experts from the biological, physical, social, and computer sciences.
