The increasing availability of large-scale scholarly datasets offers an unprecedented opportunity to understand the fundamental predictability, uncertainty, and dynamics of science and innovation. In this dissertation, I present some of my contributions to the science of science and innovation in three distinct but related settings, through a combination of canonical...
There is a rich history on the study of the interplay between symmetry and synchronization in networks. At the most fundamental level, many synchronization patterns are induced by underlying network symmetries. However, when stability is taken into account, the relation between symmetry and synchronization is far from monotonic. In this...
