Many foraging microorganisms rely upon cellular transport networks to deliver nutrients, fluid and organelles between different parts of the organism. Networked organisms ranging from filamentous fungi to slime molds demonstrate a…
Due to the increasingly complex and interconnected nature of global supply chain networks (SCNs), a recent strand of research has applied network science methods to model SCN growth and subsequently analyse various topological features,…
Spreading of either information or matter can often be treated as a network problem. It can be of great importance to be able to estimate the likelihood that spreading through a network reaches essentially the entire network while still not…
Optimal transport aims to learn a mapping of sources to targets by minimizing the cost, which is typically defined as a function of distance. The solution to this problem consists of straight line segments optimally connecting sources to…

Networks with a given degree distribution may be very resilient to one type of failure or attack but not to another. The goal of this work is to determine network design guidelines which maximize the robustness of networks to both random…
Many transport processes on networks depend crucially on the underlying network geometry, although the exact relationship between the structure of the network and the properties of transport processes remain elusive. In this paper we…
Consider designing a transportation network on $n$ vertices in the plane, with traffic demand uniform over all source-destination pairs. Suppose the cost of a link of length $\ell$ and capacity $c$ scales as $\ell c^\beta$ for fixed…
This paper considers some designs for sampling and interventions in dynamic networks and spatial temporal settings. The sample spreads through the population largely by tracing network links, although random sampling or spatial designs may…
