Dr. Eivind Almaas, University of Notre Dame

Dr. Eivind Almaas is a network researcher in the group of Prof. Albert-Laszlo Barabasi at the Department of Physics, University of Notre Dame. He received a Siv. Ing. degree from the Norwegian Institute of Technology, followed by a Ph. D. from The Ohio State University. Using his background and training from physics, his current research is focused on developing a better understanding
of complex systems through the use of network approaches. In particular, Dr. Almaas has developed tools to study the structure and dynamics of biological networks like the protein-interaction network and the bacterial metabolism. This research program has so far resulted in several publications, the most prominent a cover letter in the journal Nature (February 2004).
