Research Interests:

  • Spectral Graph Theory
  • Patterns in Complex Networks
  • Activity Recognition for Sensor Data
  • Graph Algorithms in Chemistry


Current Projects:

Activity Recognition for Sensor Networks

The data produced by moving sensors is analyzed. Can we derive a graph
representing the physical layout of a mall or exhibit when all we are
given is data about the interactions of moving sensors?


Spectral Graph Theoretic Approaches to Complex Network Analysis

Using the relation between the eigenvalues of a graph and the
occurences of subgraphs of that graph, we seek to determine
statistically significant patterns in large networks. Are results
estimating the eigenvalues of large graphs good enough to also
estimate subgraph counts?


Graph Representations of Race Conditions

Given a UML diagram, we build a set of graphs and seek to determine
pairs of possible race conditions.


Link Assessment

Analyzing the links between wikipedia pages and between users, films,
and ratings of Netflix data.
