Hey!

What I do

I'll admit it: I don't have a single research topic. I'm a curious person who likes letting the data speak.

What I study is how things spread between people — behavior, attitudes, beliefs, disease — and what the structure of their relationships has to do with it. The methods travel well. A model built to work out how aggressive behavior spreads among classmates will just as happily describe how an infection passes from one person to the next.

Mostly that means social network data, longitudinal designs, Bayesian models, and generally models that take longer to converge than I promise anyone they will.

PhD students

I currently supervise Markéta Žáková and Veronika Tesařová.

I am accepting proposals from new doctoral students. The topics I can supervise well are:

• social contagion
• dynamic network analysis
• robustness of network research
• AI in education

If your idea sits somewhere near these, write to me.
