James Bagrow

Research

My interests include: Complex Networks (community detection, social modeling and human dynamics, statistical phenomena, graph similarity and isomorphism), Statistical Physics (non-equilibrium methods, phase transitions, percolation, interacting particle systems, spin glasses), and Optimization (glassy techniques such as simulated/quantum annealing, (non-gradient) minimization of noisy objective functions), and more.
