Scott L. Feld studies social networks, focusing on how the structure of people's personal connections (such as the 'friendship paradox,' where your friends tend to have more friends than you do) can be used to understand and intervene in social phenomena like disease spread and information access. His work also touches on topics like voting systems, family and marriage dynamics, and social policy questions, often combining mathematical modeling with social science theory.
