Mikaela Fudolig
Research Assistant Professor, Department of Mathematics and Statistics
I'm currently a Research Assistant Professor at the College of Engineering and Mathematical Sciences at the University of Vermont. I work with the Computational Story Lab and the Vermont Complex Systems Center with my postdoc supervisors Prof. Chris Danforth and Prof. Peter Dodds.
My work spans a wide variety of topics – mobile communication, migration, tweets, books, music, and wellness – but I see them connected by a single theme: understanding human behavior through the use of data. While my academic background is in physics, my research is in computational social science, and I'm excited to continue working in this emerging field.
