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 information and diseases spread? How does the size of a group change the probability that its members will change their minds? How do groups form? Can we effective mitigate diseases if we understand the underlying connection patterns? We use tools from network science, mathematical modeling, Bayesian inference, and open-source development to help answer these questions.
