Classes taught
SI Ph.D. students currently advised:
Lada A. Adamic is an assistant professor in the School of Information, in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science in the College of Engineering, and in the Center for the Study of Complex Systems.

Her research interests center on information dynamics in networks: how information diffuses, how it can be found, and how it influences the evolution of a network's structure. She worked previously in Hewlett-Packard's Information Dynamics Lab on research projects relating to networks constructed from large data sets. These projects included mining the medical literature for gene-disease connections, tracking and modeling information flow in E-mail and blog networks, modeling search processes on real-world social networks, and building expertise-finding systems.

In addition to the SI Ph.D. students she advises, Adamic is also currently advisor to Ph.D. student Xiaolin Shi in the Division of Computer Science and Engineering.
