Networks:
From sub-cellular biology to the Internet, networks capture the architecture behind complex  behavior. They map the pathways that channel genetic information between cellular components, spread viruses among linked individuals and help neuronal signals propagate between brain regions. But the network is just the static architecture underlying these rich dynamics. How does this structure translate into dynamic behavior?
  At the Complex Network Dynamics lab we translate structure into function. Predicting how signals spread along network pathways, uncovering the network components that contribute to the system’s stability and resilience and detecting the nodes and links that enable information to flow throughout the system. Our ultimate goal is to systematically use complex network data to understand, predict and control its observed behavior.
