Research Interest

I have conducted research in the area of network dynamics, health informatics, and data analysis and data modelling. My research addresses interdisciplinary issues relating to understand the impact of network structure and network dynamics on group performance and coordination outcomes in complex, dynamic and distributed environments, and also to model network itself. For understanding the impact of network structure and network dynamics, I utilize complexity theory, organizational theory, network centrality and centralization theory, tie strength theory, coordination theory, and social network analysis. To model network and understand network dynamics, I apply different methods for longitudinal analysis (e.g., stochastic actor-based modelling approach, general linear and predictive models), and use features of other network and statistical methods (e.g., exponential random graph, simulation, time series analysis, scale-free network topology, and the concept of static and dynamic network topology).
