Contagion, networks, data, and software

The Landry Lab at the University of Virginia studies how the structure of networks and groups affect the spread of diseases, information, and ideology. We seek to answer questions like, How do groups change the way that contagion spreads? How do groups form and fracture? How can we use knowledge of the underlying structure of groups to effectively mitigate and optimize the spread of contagion? We use tools from network science, mathematical modeling, Bayesian inference, and open-source development to help answer these questions.
