Academic Appointments

Associate Professor of Mathematics
Steering Committee Member of Quantitative Social Science Program
Adjunct Associate Professor of Biomedical Data Science

At Dartmouth, my group's research focuses on:
- Evolutionary Game Theory with Applications: Population Structure and Evolution of Cooperation;
- Computational Social Science: Evolutionary Dynamics of Human Behavior and Social Networks;
- Biomedical Data Science: Dynamics of Cancer Evolution and Treatment;
- Public Health Data Science: Behavioral Epidemiology and Network-based Interventions;
- Computational Neuroscience: E/I Imbalance Hypothesis and Neural Synchronization.

This interdisciplinary field of our research has a significant data science component, and integrates applied mathematics, social science, and computer science, evolutionary biology, and statistical physics. Our research aims to facilitate and promote interdisciplinary research that has a foundation on mathematics and also to synergistically connect evolutionary game theory with data science through data-driven mathematical modeling of real-world applications that have broad and significant impact on our society.
