PhD Defense: Felipe Xavier Costa defended "Leveraging Redundancy As A Link Between Spreading Dynamics On And Of Networks in the Physics Department of the University at Albany (SUNY), in August 2024. Felipe was supervised by Luis Rocha. Dr. Costa’s research investigates how redundancy in heterogeneous, multivariate dynamical systems can connect how dynamics affect network topology and which pathways are necessary for spreading phenomena on networks and complex nonlinear dynamics of automata networks (with node dynamics). Felipe is now a postdoctoral fellow at the Católica Biomedical Research Center.  |

MS Defense: Miguel Bernardo Pereira defended "Distance Backbones of Weighted Graphs in the Applied mathematics Program of the Instituto Superior Tecnico, University of Lisbon, in December 2023. Felipe was supervised by Luis Rocha. Bernardo was co-supervised by Luis Rocha and Pedro Martins Rodrigues. Mr. Pereira's research deals with the topic of sparsification of weighted graphs using distance backbones of a weighted graph. He examined how these backbones preserve characteristics of epidemiological simulations carried out onsocial networks using Susceptible-Infected and Susceptible-Infected-Recovered models. Bernardo is now a research assistant and PhD Student at the University of Turin in Italy.  |
