Dr. Szymanski's research interests span from network science, with emphasis on social networks and computer wireless and sensor networks to analysis and design of distributed algorithms, simulation of computers, networks and biological/ecological phenomena.
His projects include spread of opinion and other dynamic processes on networks, communities in social networks, and large-scale parallel and distributed computing and simulation. Dr. Szymanski developed a novel Mutual Exclusion algorithm, led the development of the GANXIS and SpeakEasy community detection algorithms; the SENSE simulator for sensor network simulation, and VOGUE and Conceptor-based innovative HMM models.
