My research focuses on applications of combinatorial and algebraic methods to the analysis of social data including political redistricting and social network analysis. Recent projects include the following with more details on my research page:
  • Creating sampling and optimization methods for evaluating political redistricting plans
  • Designing and evaluating fairness metrics
  • Statistical inference for the RDPG network model
  • Spectral graph theory and combinatorial measures on trees
  • Stirling numbers of the first and second kind for graphs
  • Clustering and metrics for multiplex data
