Shailaja Mallick

Shailaja Mallick is an Assistant Professor at Providence College in the Department of Computer Science within the School of Mathematics and Computer Science. Her research explores the intersection of computational methods and network dynamics, focusing on social networks, epidemic propagation, and non-linear systems.

• Specializes in social network analysis and targeted advertising
• Investigates epidemic modeling on graphs and networks
• Studies non-linear dynamical systems in networked environments
• Contributes to network theory and opinion diffusion research

Her recent work (2021–2024) analyzes competing epidemics on graphs, opinion spread in social networks, and targeted advertising strategies. She employs mathematical modeling and computational frameworks to understand convergence behaviors and coexistence in networked systems.
