I am interested in the theory and applications of network science, particularly in modeling and analyzing social and temporal networks, hypergraphs, contagion processes, and the dynamics of networked systems. I also develop genetic algorithms that optimise structured interactions at conferences. A web application powered by my algorithm is available here. Previously, I analyzed food-web, transportation, social, and collaboration networks. I also have experience in modeling and visualising multiplex and higher-order networks. In addition, I have a publication on a more theoretical work in graph theory, where we present applications of Matula numbers in chemistry and analytical combinatorics; it’s available for download here.
Academic Background: I earned a first-class honors degree in Mathematics Education from Lagos State University and a master’s degree in Mathematical Sciences from the African Institute for Mathematical Sciences (AIMS, Ghana). Since graduating from AIMS, I have actively participated in research and educational activities, including the University of Oxford’s Virtual Mathematics Mentorship Program, the Santa Fe Institute’s Complexity Global Schools, AIMS-DAAD Summer School on Combinatorics, and the Leaders of Africa Institute’s Research Methods Program. In addition, I was a research assistant at the Santa Fe Institute from April 2024 to September 2025.

I developed an interactive web application that visualizes undirected networks, determines their properties, and plots their degree distributions, using the data sets compiled and made available by Professor Mark Newman on this website. (Feb. 2026)
I developed a web application that generates rooted trees and computes their statistics directly from their Matula numbers. https://sodiqmojeed.github.io/matula_tree/ (Dec. 2025)
I have completed 60 data science online courses, including scientific computing, machine learning, and AI fundamentals. See my DataCamp portfolio for the list of courses and their descriptions. (Nov. 2025)
I led a group of three peers on an award-winning research project that examined homophily effects in scientific collaboration at Scialog conferences. For more information, see the Princeton Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology’s website. (Jul. 2024)
