I'm currently a post-doctoral fellow at the Santa Fe Institute, where I spend most of my time studying social, biological and technological networks using tools from computer science, physics and statistics. I'm particularly interested in probabalistic models of networks, notions of large-scale organization, network formation, the interplay of structure and function, methods for the analysis of complex systems, and computation in biological or evolutionary systems. In the past few years, I've also become interested in the statistics of conflict (mainly terrorism), and evolutionary biology. Many of these topics, along with a general fascination with the world, underly my interest in blogging about science at Structure+Strangeness.
