Research

My research investigates information, sentiment and behavioural dynamics in connected social systems using computational and quantitative methods.

Sentiment diffusion and emotional contagion

Research examining how sentiment states propagate through social networks, including the role of network structure, neighbouring states, temporal dependence and individual characteristics.

Information diffusion

Computational approaches to understanding how information spreads through digitally mediated networks and how network position influences diffusion processes.

Agent-based modelling of social processes

Simulation models linking individual-level states and rules with network structure to investigate emergent population-level dynamics.

Computational methods

Natural language processing, social network analysis, time-series analysis, simulation and quantitative modelling for computational social science.
