Satyaki Sikdar, Ph.D.

Hello there! 👋 I am a Postdoctoral Fellow at Indiana University, Bloomington where I work with Dr. Santo Fortunato to explore citation and collaboration networks to better understand the scientific enterprise.

I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science & Engineering in Jan 2022 from the University of Notre Dame where I was advised by Dr. Tim Weninger. I received my bachelor’s degree in Computer Science & Engineering from Heritage Institute of Technology in Kolkata, India.

My core research interest is understanding the fundamental mechanisms that govern complex, interconnected systems using tools at the confluence of network science, machine learning, and computational social science.
