re-#introduction
Hi Fediscience! I am an Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering at University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa (Honolulu). I got here starting from Physics training with many scientific detours into data-driven models, complex systems, nanomaterial self-assembly, human learning of complex networks, naval ships, and design problems.
I grew up in Belarus and have *opinions* on that region of the world. I've been on Fediverse since late 2022 when *something* happened to our previous cybersocial infrastructure, but the previous server I was on is sunsetting. Please come say hi and recommend cool people to follow here.
I have a blog with longer thoughts on science-adjacent topics.

Them: "A new article is citing your research"
Me: "Ow, nice, which one? what's the research about?"
*checks paper*
The authors: we looked at the clustering coefficient [cite my paper]
Me: you don't say... THE clustering coefficient, uh! right, right...
Context: I wrote a paper discussing the differences between multiple different definitions of the clustering coefficient for weighted networks and how this can significantly affect the results; the paper citing my work does not even define which clustering coefficient they are using...

Geograph:innen der Unis Innsbruck und Bern haben die #Netzwerke von Mobilfunkdaten analysiert. Es zeigte sich: Bei Hochwasser bewegen sich Menschen ähnlich wie bei großen Events (etwa Konzerten). Diese Erkenntnis könnte helfen, Krisen besser zu managen.

Some amazing #network research that revealed the top candidates for Pope recently. Of those revealed one is now the new Pope! The Vatican, and those around it, are a socio-political system where the “golden rule” is “location, location, location“

🚀 Wow, "network science" to predict papal smoke signals! 🤯 Who knew Vatican bingo needed a #PhD from Bocconi! 🙄✨

Happy to share that Dr. Gaurav and Mrs. Shruti from our lab contributed to the discussions at the 2025 @EuroGeosciences General Assembly in Vienna, presenting research on monsoon progression and cyclone dynamics using network theory.

📜 We've got a new article out 📜
*Angst M, Müller NN, Walker V. Automated extraction of discourse networks from large volumes of media data* (open access)
https://doi.org/10.1017/nws.2025.4
As part of our sustainability.discourses project, we developed an automated method to gather and track discourse networks around urban sustainable mobility, based on media data.
The article describes the approach in detail and reports an evaluation of the internal validity (do we measure what we ourselves think we measure) of the pipeline.
tl;dnr: Automating discourse network data gathering can work well to capture broader tendencies. In many cases, it is likely not worth investing in automating data gathering to understand discourse however.
