Connected Worlds

:::Home > Teaching Activities > Mentorship > Student Research Themes > Connected Worlds

Behind many systems—social networks, the internet, ecosystems, or even the human brain—are webs of connections that shape how information, energy, or influence flows. The theme “Connected Worlds: Network Science & Graph Insights” explores network science and graph-based methods to study these structures, revealing patterns that explain how complex systems work.

Projects in this theme may involve analyzing social networks, mapping communication flows, modeling biological interactions, or applying graph algorithms to optimize systems. By studying connections rather than isolated parts, students gain powerful tools for understanding relationships, predicting behaviors, and improving the resilience of interconnected systems.

Students are encouraged to contribute to this theme by designing projects that uncover insights from networks and graphs. Whether the work examines social connections, infrastructure systems, or data relationships, the contributions can help reveal the hidden structures that link our world together. By joining this theme, the student can show how connections themselves can be the key to solving complex problems.
