Research Interests
Xiaowen is primarily interested in utilising graphs to model relational structure within the data, and developing novel techniques that lie at the intersection of machine learning, signal processing and complex networks. He applies these techniques to study questions across social and economic sciences, with a particular focus on understanding human behaviour, decision making and societal changes.
