Research at the Network Science Institute investigates both the fundamental nature of networked systems as well as the applications of these principles to systems found in biological, social, technical, informational and spatial systems. It covers diverse areas, such as brain connectivity, subcellular and genomic interactions, infectious disease transmission and preparedness, infrastructural and spatial resiliency, decision making and performance of teams and large collectives, politics and voting patterns, collective action and social justice.
Our research is supported in large part from grants awarded by federal agencies, including the Department of Defense, National Science Foundation, National Institutes of Health, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, as well as foundations and corporations.
