DataNet Research Group, leaded by Dr. Nam P. Nguyen, conducts research in the fields of complex networks sciences. In particular, DataNet focuses on network structure analysis, structural vulnerability assessment, large scale data modeling and mining, and practical applications on social and mobile computing. Our research focuses on the development of efficient algorithms and methods based on graph theory, and optimization and data mining techniques to understand not only the organizational principals, interdependency but also the structural vulnerabilities dynamic complex networks. From an applications perspective, our work investigates how such algorithms and data mining methods significantly improve the solution quality for mobile and social networking problems.

I am looking for motivated students to work with me on exciting projects on CyberSecurity, Social Networks and Mobile Computing. Send me an email with your Statement of Purpose and current CV together with TOEFL and GRE (optional). If you are in Towson already, stop by my office so we can discuss.
