... Her research combines cognitive science, social networks, and computer science to address complex social and organizational problems. Her specific research areas are computational social and organization theory; group, organizational, and social adaptation and evolution; social and dynamic network analysis; computational text analysis; and the impact of telecommunication technologies and policy on communication, information diffusion, and disease contagion and response within and among groups, particularly in disaster or crisis situations.

... Sloan Foundation Fellowship, a David and Lucile Packard Foundation Fellowship, teaching awards from the Cornell Engineering College and Computer Science Department, and the 2001 National Academy of Sciences Award for Initiatives in Research. David Kleinfeld, University of California, San Diego, who now lives in La Jolla, is part of a generation of scientists who trained in physics in the 1980s and 1990s and now devote themselves to problems in the neurosciences.

... Together with Larry Abbott, her laboratory pioneered the "dynamic clamp." She was one of the first experimentalists to forge long-standing collaborations with theorists and has for almost 15 years of combined experimental work with insights from modeling and theoretical studies. Her work today focuses on understanding how stability in networks arises despite ongoing channel and receptor turnover and modulation, both in developing and adult animals.
