I'm a PhD student in Computer Science at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. I work on data mining / machine learning -- i.e., given some large body of data, how do we analyze it, find dependencies, identify interesting patterns, and make predictions? In particular, my lab works with data sets that have a network structure, such as movies and their actors, papers and their writers, cellular proteins and their interactions, or stockbrokers and their firms. As for the relation to complex systems research, I'm most interested in models of graph structure.
