Is Complex Networks/Informatics Right for You?
Have you dreamed of integrating theoretical, technological, biological and social interactions? If so, consider the Complex Networks & Systems track of the PhD program in Informatics at Indiana University. This multi-disciplinary program capitalizes on the Indiana University Network Science Institute (IUNI). IUNI is comprised of over 150 faculty members with diverse research programs spanning the genomics of neurocognitive disorders, influence of network connections on health, illness/disease and ethical and policy issues in biobanks, health information and science policy. Some of the recent studies from the CNetS program include: using Instagram to predict success of fashion models; understanding why some dormant research papers suddenly explode into 'sleeping beauties' with tremendous impact on the scientific community; and Discourse Polarization in the US Congress.
The Complex Networks & Systems track of the PhD program in Informatics at Indiana University has been training a new kind of interdisciplinary scientist and professional for over a decade. With its unique interdisciplinary approach, our program offers an exciting opportunity to master the connections between theoretical, technological, biological, and social implications of complex networks and systems in a research-oriented curriculum. The program is hosted by faculty at the associated Center for Complex Networks and Systems Research (CNetS) who are investigating complex systems in action, from determining how a YouTube video goes viral, mining Instagram data for public-health monitoring, developing models to predict the spread of online misinformation, studying innovation and conflict in parliamentary documents, to understanding the neural basis of behaviors. Check out the different avenues of study:
- Networks & agents Network (NaN)
- Complex Adaptive Systems and Computational Intelligence (CASCI)
- Adaptive Behavior and Cognition—West (ABC-West)
- Artificial Life (ALife)
- Laboratory for the Modeling of Biological and Socio-technical Systems (MoBS)
