Opportunities

PhD supervision and research collaborations

I am interested in supervising PhD students and establishing research collaborations on applications of social network research in substantive sociological fields, or extending the capability or developing methodological contributions for the analysis of social networks. I am particularly interested in supervising students in theoretical and methodological aspects of social networks and various areas of social network research including group dynamics, sociology of science and knowledge, or network modeling.

These are some of the projects that I am currently working on
