Research summary
AI-generated

Joseph H. Tien develops mathematical models to study how infectious diseases spread through populations and networks, including diseases transmitted by vectors like mosquitoes and waterborne pathogens like cholera. His work also extends to analyzing social media and network data, such as tracking online misinformation and measuring political polarization on Twitter. This research combines tools from applied mathematics, network science, and epidemiology to understand both disease transmission and information spread.

Publication output rose sharply around 2021-2022 (likely reflecting COVID-19-related work) after a slower 2018-2020 period, and has since tapered off toward earlier, more modest annual counts.
