Associate Professor

Biography

My work bridges computer science with multiple domains, using computational tools to address real-world challenges:

馃彌锔 Political Science: Modeling opinion dynamics and polarization in communities
馃彞 Public Health: Understanding behavior spread and intervention strategies
馃洝锔 Public Security: Analyzing crime patterns through network topology
馃摫 Social Computing: Investigating misinformation spread and social influence
馃尡 Behavioral Change: Promoting healthier lifestyles through computational insights

Core Methodologies:

  • Agent-based modeling and simulation
  • Complex network analysis
  • Social dynamics modeling
  • Cognitive behavioral frameworks
  • Machine learning applications
