Buttons

Make any link standout more when applying the .btn class.

Notices

Watch out! You can also add notices by appending {: .notice} to a paragraph.

HTML Tags

Address Tag

1 Infinite Loop
Cupertino, CA 95014
United States

This is an example of a link.

Abbreviation Tag

The abbreviation CSS stands for “Cascading Style Sheets”.

Cite Tag

“Code is poetry.” —Automattic

Code Tag

You will learn later on in these tests that word-wrap: break-word; will be your best friend.

Strike Tag

This tag will let you strikeout text.

Emphasize Tag

The emphasize tag should italicize text.

Insert Tag

This tag should denote inserted text.

Keyboard Tag

This scarcely known tag emulates keyboard text, which is usually styled like the <code> tag.

Preformatted Tag

This tag styles large blocks of code.

.post-title {
  margin: 0 0 5px;
  font-weight: bold;
  font-size: 38px;
  line-height: 1.2;
  and here's a line of some really, really, really, really long text, just to see how the PRE tag handles it and to find out how it overflows;
}

Quote Tag

Developers, developers, developers… –Steve Ballmer

Strong Tag

This tag shows bold text.

Subscript Tag

Getting our science styling on with H2O, which should push the “2” down.

Superscript Tag

Still sticking with science and Isaac Newton’s E = MC2, which should lift the 2 up.

Variable Tag

This allows you to denote variables.

About Me

Hello and welcome to my homepage!

I’m Diego Fregolent Mendes de Oliveira, an Assistant Professor at the School of Electrical Engineering & Computer Science at the University of North Dakota. My research explores the intersection between people and computing systems, with a focus on how information flows through social networks and how its quality and integrity are shaped in cyberspace. I am particularly interested in ensuring the trustworthiness and reliability of social computing systems.

Another important area of my research is Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) across scientific disciplines. By analyzing publication records, funding data, and awards, I work to uncover and understand gender disparities in academia.

My expertise spans complex network systems, including data analysis, machine learning, agent-based modeling, and computational social science. I also have a strong background in chaos and dynamical systems, studying nonlinear dynamics, chaotic attractors, and bifurcation phenomena.

Before joining the University of North Dakota, I held several research positions. I was a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the Statistical and Applied Mathematical Sciences Institute (SAMSI) and the University of North Carolina, where I collaborated with Prof. Peter Mucha, Prof. M. Gregory Forest, and Prof. David Banks. I also served as a Research Scientist at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and the Army Research Lab, working with Prof. Boleslaw K. Szymanski and Dr. Kevin S. Chan.

Prior to that, I was a Postdoctoral Fellow at Northwestern University, collaborating with Prof. Luís Amaral and Prof. Brian Uzzi in the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering and the Northwestern Institute on Complex Systems (NICO).

Here, you can find more about my work on complex networks and time-dependent systems.

Research Interests

Complex Network Systems: Data analysis, data visualization, big data, data mining, machine learning, optimization, social network analysis, sentiment analysis, agent-based modeling, computational social science, information diffusion, modeling dynamical processes on networks, online social media.

Chaos and Dynamical Systems: Nonlinear dynamics, closed and open systems, scaling laws, discrete maps, chaotic dynamics, conservative and dissipative systems, time-dependent systems, Fermi acceleration, billiards, kicked systems, chaotic and periodic attractors, bifurcations, and boundary crises.
