Stranded in Time: A Story Exploring an Intersection of Fiction and Science

My first first author paper adapts number of steps based centrality measures to time based ones and finds flow-through centrality as the best indicator of both traps and highways

Featuring my NSF 2026 Big Idea Machine entry, Human vs AI – Gamers Helping Scientists:

Katie Camero, Sabine Galvis, Kelly Mayes, “What big ideas will shape U.S. science over the next decade? Here are some contenders,” Science 2019. For my big idea, I proposed a platform to effectively combine human and artificial intelligence. Other NSF highlights feature machine learning to solve complex problems. An alternative to algorithms is to use the nimble minds of gamers or human intelligence (HI). Through an NSF sponsored open world game, scientists will help gamers learn science and gamers will help scientists with their research serving as willing HI.
