Bio

Dr. Timothy LaRock

Postdoctoral Research Associate, Princeton University

I am a postdoctoral research associate at Princeton University working in the Complex Infrastructure Systems group with Professor Jürgen Hackl, where I develop methods for higher-order network analysis applied to large-scale infrastructure systems including human mobility, railway infrastructure, and energy grids. Previously, I was a postdoctoral research associate at the Oxford Mathematical Institute with Professor Renaud Lambiotte where I developed methods for modeling multi-way interaction networks. In December 2021 I earned my PhD in Network Science at the Northeastern University Network Science Institute, where I was advised by Professor Tina Eliassi-Rad and specialized in the analysis of higher-order sequential correlations in network data. Prior to joining the Institute in 2016, I completed a BS in Computer Science and Applied Mathematics with a minor in Philosophy at the State University of New York at Albany, where I conducted research on load balancing in cellular networks and unsupervised transmitter detection in wireless frequency spectrum data, under the supervision of Prof. Petko Bogdanov and Prof. Mariya Zheleva.
