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. |
