Vince Lyzinski

Vince Lyzinski is an Associate Professor in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Maryland, College Park, with additional affiliations in the Applied Mathematics, Statistics, and Scientific Computation (AMSC) program. His work spans statistical network inference, graph matching algorithms, and machine learning applications to complex networks.

• Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics and Statistics (2013), M.S.E. (2011), and M.A. (2007) from Johns Hopkins University
• B.S. in Mathematics from University of Notre Dame (2006)

His research focuses on statistical network inference, particularly graph matching and vertex nomination, with applications to connectomics and adversarial activity analytics. Supported by DARPA MAA, AFOSR, and JHU HLTCOE, he develops algorithms like iGraphMatch for graph alignment and analysis.

Recent publications (2025-2023) explore vertex label error impacts, network trimming for robustness, and stochastic blockmodel extensions. Key papers include "Asymptotically Perfect Seeded Graph Matching" and "ACRONYM: Augmented Degree-Corrected Network Models".

Scientific Awards:

• Best Paper Award at GTA3 2018 Workshop

He has advised 13 Ph.D. students and 1 postdoc across UMD, JHU, and Texas A&M, including Keith Levin (now at UW-Madison) and Jesus Arroyo (now at Texas A&M). His DARPA-funded team includes researchers from UMass, UMD, BU, and JHU.
