Bio
Dylan Walker is an assistant professor of Information Systems at Boston University School of Management and a junior fellow of the Rafik B. Hariri Institute for Computing and Computational Science & Engineering. While he is a theoretical physicist by training, I apply mathematical and computation tools from statistical physics to large-scale empirical and data-oriented research in computational social science, business and economics. After my Ph.D. and prior to joining the faculty at BU, I worked as a post-doctoral research associate at NYU Stern with some wonderful people, including Sinan Aral, Lev Muchnik, and Sean Taylor. If you’d like to know more, download a current version of my CV. My published papers are available below, but you can also check my google scholar page, and my SSRN page. You can also find me on twitter @dylanwalker.
