ABOUT ME
Hi, I'm Zak...
I'm an associate professor at Michigan State University, in the Psychology Department's Social-Personality program. But my research projects span several disciplines including network science, urban studies, implementation science, geography, sociology, and education. Most of the courses I teach are focused on methods, including network analysis and agent-based modeling. In addition to my research and teaching, I also edit several academic journals. I live with my wife and two cats in East Lansing, and when I'm not working, I love to travel, cook, brew beer, enjoy wine, and tweet from @zpneal.
