Lei Meng

I am a Ph.D. candidate in Department of Computer Science and Engineering, at University of Notre Dame. I am advised by Professor Aaron Striegel and co-advised by Professor Tijana Milenkovic. My research interest primarily focuses on dynamic and heterogeneous social network analysis and generating insights with from social networks to improve mobile network quality of experience (QoE). I have involved in the NetSense Project since 2011, a study of the formation and evolution of social networks using mobile technology. I am also part of the Complex Networks (CoNe) Lab.
