Functional Connectivity

One of the more recent focuses in neuroimaging is on functional connectivity, or how different regions of the brain activate together. My interest in this area is both methodological and substantive. In terms of methods research, I'm want to develop new methods that improve functional connectivity and the use of networks in neuroimaging, including finding better ways to examine between-subject heterogeneity. In terms of substantive research, I'm interested in developmental disorders (e.g., autism spectrum disorder, ADHD) and clinical disorders such as schizophrenia.

Network Psychometrics and Social Networks

Networks are complex data objects that routinely violate the assumptions of more traditional statistical methods. New methods for analyzing network data are being developed all the time. My focus is on methods for analyzing networks whose individual elements, nodes and edges, do not follow the same data generating process: i.e., heterogeneous networks. By improving our understanding of network properties and how best to analyze them, I hope to support the use of network methods in psychology, neuroscience, and beyond.

Language Networks

Natural language processing is the use of statistics to obtain information from textual data. I am interested in the intersection of network science and natural language processing, such as the properties of networks of text like Wikipedia, or blog networks. Additionally, I am interested in topic modeling, or grouping text data into intelligible topics, a technique that has a number of similarities to modelling of heterogeneous networks.
