Have you ever wondered if opinions around you influence how you think or act?

That question is the crux of my research; I model opinion dynamics over complex networks. My research encompasses many things. I am quite interested in how recommended content on social media platforms influences users'  beliefs, behaviours, attitudes and opinions. I am curious about how opinions and actions coevolve in the face of social dilemmas, specifically to understand persistent cooperation in social movements and the growing phenomenon of democratic backslide. I am fascinated by how our opinions and willingness to engage with government messaging affect the spread of viruses in epidemics. To investigate all of that, we can use a range of methods: mathematical models, simulations, mathematical analysis, and real-world data.
