Karl specializes in data science as applied to networks and graphs. He's done work with applying network algorithms to improve genome assembly and published fundamental work in understanding K-Dense graphs. He's also very interested in finding ways to connect data science with social good, especially through the classroom and experiential learning. Karl's teaching includes Optimization, Data Mining, Multivariable Calculus and Differential Equations. He's also designed and implemented an Introduction to Data Science course targeted at students with minimal programming experience that centers around a data-driven service learning project.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
