Sudeshna Paul

Sudeshna Paul, PhD, is a postdoc in the HNL. Her interests are in statistical modeling and analysis of large correlated data. She holds a PhD in Statistics from Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN (Dec, 2009) where her dissertation was based on estimating shape and structural parameters of biological molecules from their small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) images using spatial analysis.

At Harvard, she is working on two broad areas of research: (1) Modeling relationship transitions in social networks over time and developing algorithms for efficient computation especially for large sparse networks, and (2) Analysis of massive physician-physician network collapsed from a physician-patient bipartite network based on shared patients.
