Research summary

This record appears to blend two distinct bodies of work under the same name: one in statistics and computer science focused on modeling and analyzing networks (graphs), including how to statistically describe populations of networks, test whether two networks come from the same underlying distribution, and estimate structure in large matrices; and another in history/postcolonial studies concerning settler colonialism. The technical work centers on developing mathematical and computational tools to understand large, complex, interconconnected data such as social or biological networks. Prospective students interested in statistical network science, high-dimensional data analysis, or algorithmic accountability would find the computational side most relevant.

Publication output was fairly steady from 2017 to 2020 (4-8 papers per year) but has declined sharply since 2021, with little to no output recorded in 2023-2025.
