Trained as a physicist, I am an interdisciplinary researcher working across network science, science of science, artificial intelligence, and visual computing. I build networks, embeddings, and structured AI pipelines that connect evidence across scientific publications, technological designs, collaborations, and complex social and biological systems.
At Northwestern’s Center for Science of Science & Innovation, I study how ideas and technological capabilities develop: how fields change, how funding and collaboration shape discovery, and how research becomes useful technology. I combine large-scale data, network and language models, and domain knowledge. I also build open tools such as Helios Web to make these processes measurable, explorable, and useful.
Combining science-of-science evidence with structured extraction, network analysis, embedding search, and domain knowledge to identify promising scientific and engineering opportunities across publications, materials, measurements, and device concepts.
Linking funding acknowledgments, organizations, and publications at scale to study how public, philanthropic, and corporate support shapes scientific directions, researcher trajectories, and the geography of knowledge production.
Developing embedding models that represent design choices and technical attributes, reveal interpretable directions aligned with measurable progress, and help predict how technological capabilities evolve across materials and device platforms.
A browser-first platform for interactive exploration of large networks and embedding spaces, combining GPU rendering, a WebAssembly graph store, real-time layouts, and analysis across browsers, notebooks, and desktop workflows.
