research interests

I'm currently working in Professor Carl Bergstrom's Lab applying network theory to journal citation networks - clustering and importance ranking. For information, see www.Eigenfactor.org. From there I hope to move in to a more epidemiological realm and start applying the tools of network theory to the study of Avian flu (H5N1 virus). In the very long term, I hope to attend graduate school in either a quantitative discipline (applied mathematics, biostatistics, epidemiology) or attend medical school (or perhaps both). If you are interested in my research, send me and email, at: ben.althouse@gmail.com, or check out the "academic" section of my Links page.
