News: In July 2011, I defended this: Prediction, Evolution and Privacy in Social and Affiliation Networks.

My research interests lie in applying machine learning models to social and affiliation network problems, such as relational classification, graph generation and link prediction. I also study privacy in the context of social networks, topic models for social media recommendations, data mining and reputation systems. For details, please see my list of publications. My advisor is Prof. Lise Getoor, and I belong to LINQS, a statistical relational learning research group.
