Ly Dinh is an assistant professor at the School of Information, University of South Florida. Her research focuses on the formation and evolution of network structures in various social systems including social networks, multi-team systems, research organizations, and large-scale emergency response operations. She also develops and tests new measures to capture the complexities of social interactions that can be observed at multiple levels of analysis. Her work provides 1) empirical evidence in support (and sometimes, in opposition) of network theories in various social and organizational contexts, and 2) refined methods to measure network dynamics that were previously difficult to capture (e.g. interdisciplinary ties, balance for signed and directed connections). Her research has appeared in Scientific Reports, Frontiers in Human Dynamics, Communication Research, and peer-reviewed outlets in computational social science and crisis informatics. Dr. Dinh is a recipient of the 2020 Grace Hopper Scholar for Women in Computing, and a 2018 Network Science Fellow at the Visible Networks Labs.
