Samuel Arbesman

I study computational approaches to the social sciences. I am currently a Research Fellow in the Department of Health Care Policy at Harvard Medical School, working in the group of Nicholas Christakis. I am also affiliated with the Institute for Quantitative Social Science at Harvard University.

I completed a PhD in computational biology at Cornell University in 2008, where I worked on a variety of projects related to computational approaches to human activity. My advisor was Steve Strogatz. From 2004 to 2006, I was an IGERT Fellow in Nonlinear Systems.

Here's my CV.

In addition, I write for popular audiences. My work has appeared in The Boston Globe, where I am a regular contributor to the Ideas section, and The New York Times. I also have a blog.
