This thrust focuses on understanding and modeling large, interconnected systems such as social, biological, and information networks. Faculty develop algorithms for graph mining, resilience analysis, complex system modeling, and graph-based learning with applications in epidemiology, bioinformatics, cybersecurity, and financial systems. Representative topics include:

• Social networks
• Graph learning and network mining
• Resilience and percolation
• Complex systems modeling

Bioinformatics and health networks
