DOI: 10.1109/access.2022.3159688
Abstract: In this work, we aim to classify nodes of unstructured peer-to-peer networks with communication uncertainty, such as users of decentralized social networks. Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) are known to improve the accuracy of simple classifiers… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/ijerph17082848
Abstract: Peer networks at school and students’ position in these networks can influence their academic well-being. We study here individual students’ network position (isolation, popularity, social activity) and peer network structures at the school level (centralization,… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/ijerph20054059
Abstract: Background: Understanding the mechanisms by which evidence-based interventions (EBIs) for mental health are naturally diffused among youth in low-and middle-income countries—particularly those with histories of violence and civil unrest—can illuminate which intervention elements are most… read more here.
