I'm looking for a PhD student to join my lab at UAlbany for Fall 2026!

We are data scientists studying the creation, flow, and impact of information. How do scientists collaborate? How does AI shape information access? What drives local innovation?

Want to answer these questions? details below!

Update: This Fall I'll be joining University at Albany as Assistant Professor in Information Sciences & Technology!

I'm ecstatic to join this great department and continue studying the social side of science & discovery. I'm also recruiting PhD students so reach out!

With all that is happening, its is easy lose track of what is being lost.

The Maine Sea Grant is important. They make a strong case for their impacts, which extend beyond science to supporting local ecosystems and industries.

Bibliometric data helps us understand how this loss affects science.

Such partnerships aren't confined to New England. Indeed, papers supported by the Maine Sea Grant form a network that spans the United States and beyond. It really shows that this local grant can form connections and impact across the whole country.

Although centered in Maine, the grant has supported collaborations and partnerships across New England with other universities as well as companies, institutes, and government agencies. Disrupting the grant could have ripple effects across this network.

The Sea Grant has supported over 200 papers since the year 2000, where I start my analysis. This work is also high-impact, with 77% of these papers receiving higher than average citations.

Last week, The Maine Sea Grant was abruptly terminated. I decided to conduct a quick bibliometric analysis understand the role of this grant in Science.

Its clear that this grant supports locally-relevant research related to the coastal ecosystem and economy of Maine.
