David Liben-Nowell, Assistant Professor of Computer Science, Carleton College

Liben-Nowell is conducting research on social networks, broadly divided into two categories: extracting interesting information from large-scale real-world social networks and developing mathematical models of social networks (and proving that they reproduce features observed in the real world).

Liben-Nowell has previously worked on problems in computational biology, complexity of games and peer-to-peer systems. He earned his Ph.D. from Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2005, writing his dissertation on An Algorithmic Approach to Social Networks. He conducted his undergraduate work at Cornell University.
