Our team had an immense opportunity to be a part of the first Winter flagship conference of the Network Science Society NetSci hosted in India.

NetSciX 2025 was an excellent gathering of network scientists from all over the world. The event organized by Prof Sarika Jalan (India) and Prof Hiroki Sayami (USA) was an epitome of a very productive occasion. The sessions were well planned meticulously ahead of time and carried out in a timely manner. There were ample opportunities for young researchers to showcase their works and get feedback and constructive comments from many laureates of Network Science. The venue was arranged very conveniently and was conducive for facilitating discussions and easily accessible for all.

Following were the highlights of our team.

Focus session address by Dr Divya Sindhu Lekha on “Robustness and Vulnerability Assessment of Multilayer Networks”

Poster presentation by Ms. Jisha Mariyam John on “Impact of weight thresholding on the robustness of complex networks to central node attack strategies”

Poster presentation by Ms. Rini T. Paul on “Overlapping community detection in bipartite networks”

14-17 January 2025

Dr. Divya Sindhu Lekha presented the research work in COMPUTE 2024, the Seventh Annual Conference on Computing Education, ACM Compute Conference, at IIT Gandhinagar. Paper details are: Social Connections Formed from Engaging in a Faculty Development Workshop Kaitlin E Mallouk (Rowan University)*; DIVYA SINDHU LEKHA (Indian Institute of Information Technology Kottayam). In this work we use social network analysis to characterize the social engagement of EUFD workshop participants and gain insights into how the unique aspects of each workshop may influence the networks that result from engagement in the workshop.
