The Shekhtman Lab researches applied network and data science.
We have three primary areas of focus:
1. Philanthropic data science- use of methodologies from data science to understand the world of nonprofits and philanthropy.
2. Viral Dynamics- analyzing models and real data on patients infected with virological diseases, especially related to the liver.
3. Network science- studying models and data of how things are connected across a diverse array of applications.
