Q: How are resources consumed in transportation networks, and how does this shape the overall functioning of the system?

We introduce the minimum-cost percolation framework and apply it to the U.S. air transportation system using publicly available data.

🚨New(ish) paper alert!🚨We developed and implemented an efficient iterative ranking algorithm for multi-body competitions. This is the first paper from my former student Jack Yeung (LinkedIn: jackcyeung), I am immensely proud of the work he has put into this project!

🚨🚨 New preprint just dropped! In collaboration with @colltoaction.bsky.social, Cliff Joslyn, @fralotito.bsky.social, Audun Myers, Joshua Pickard, Brenda Praggastis, and Przemysław Szufel, we define a new data sharing standard for higher-order networks. arxiv.org/abs/2507.11520

How does social network structure amplify or stifle behavior diffusion? Turns out, complex contagions are more complicated than we thought … (1/7)

It’s happening.
BRAN Lab is here, my first research group.

We explore how and why we connect (and disconnect), using network science, signed networks, ML, and cognitive modeling: from minds to systems, humans to AI, mental health to epidemic prevention.

Here's another paper by Shalizi showing how inferring *latent* homophily allows for disentangling from contagion. Bizarre how this gets overlooked, since it's obvious that homophily leaves huge traces in the network structure, while contagion changes nothing.

Yesterday I successfully defended my dissertation! 🥳 Thank you Dr. Filippo Radicchi for your guidance as my advisor over the years, your mentorship has been invaluable!

Next stop, University of Virginia with Dr. Nicholas Landry @nwlandry.bsky.social!

Paper alert! 🚨 We investigate Bluesky’s journey from an invitation only platform with a few thousands of users to reaching 30 million users in terms of user activity and network growth.

New Pre-print out 📝

We propose a minimum-cost percolation (MCP) framework to model resource consumption in transportation networks, applied to the US air system. Encouraging cooperation among air carriers can boost the system’s robustness to disruptions!

I'm joining Binghamton University School of Computing as an assistant professor this Sep. I'm recruiting two PhD students to work on topics related to AI and information ecosystem. If you are interested in joining me, send your CV and a short statement of purpose to my email [email protected]

New release! Version 0.9.5 adds support for hyperedge line width. We also fixed an error in our random generative models and made some methods up to 4x faster (!!!) in the process. @kaiserdaniel.bsky.social also made his first contribution, fixing an error in the hypergraph Laplacian. Thanks Daniel!

New Year, New Job (in a few months) 🎉

I'm thrilled to share that I will be joining @nwlandry.bsky.social and The Landry Lab landry-lab.github.io at the University of Virginia as a post-doc this Summer! I'm looking forward to joining the lab and tackling many interesting problems together!
