Robert Gray Dodge Professor of Network Science, University Distinguished Professor, Physics
Albert-László Barabási, Robert Gray Dodge Professor of Network Science and University Distinguished Professor, conducts research that challenges the traditional view of complex networks as random graphs. By analyzing diverse systems like the World Wide Web, cellular, and social networks, he discovered the prevalence of scale-free characteristics, revealing a common architectural blueprint in nature. His current work explores network robustness, error tolerance, and dynamics, with a particular focus on applying network theory to biological systems. Professor Barabási holds a joint appointment in the College of Science and the Khoury College of Computer Sciences.
