Eduardo Lopez, PhD
Research Focus The overarching theme of my research focuses on systems that can be approached in an interdisciplinary way with the tools of network science, stochastic processes, statistical physics, and big data. In this broad context, I have a particular interest in flow processes on networks. Another related interest is the search for quantitative laws in […]
Dorin Marcu, PhD
Research Focus My work has contributed to research areas that are viewed as key enablers for the development of cognitive agents, and for the generalized application of artificial intelligence to complex realworld problems, including mixed-initiative human computer interaction, knowledge acquisition of problem solving expertise from human subject matter experts, knowledge engineering, evidence-based reasoning and assumption-based […]
Dominic White, PhD
Research Focus I am a computational paleontologist: I use new methods in computational and data sciences to study old animals. Past research has looked at how the evolution of quadrupedality in dinosaurs, and the phylogenetic analysis of serially homologous structures. I teach CDS 101: Introduction to Computational and Data Sciences.
Dimitris Ioannou, PhD
Research Focus Dimitri Ioannou has authored or coauthored over two hundred and fifty research papers and conference presentations and advised more than thirty research students. His main research contributions include: development of techniques for using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Electron-beam-induced current (EBIC) to detect and characterize defects in semiconductor materials; techniques for studying deep […]

David Luther, PhD
Research Focus My research focuses on behavioral ecology, evolution, and conservation biology. Students in my lab investigate how species respond to their surrounding environment and alterations to those environments. We use a combination of field and laboratory techniques to address research topics and work in a wide range of ecosystems. Much of our research on […]
