In social, political and defense systems, among others, network infrastructures show a large number of interdependencies: physical interdependency when energy, material or people flow from one infrastructure to another; cyber interdependency when information is transmitted or exchanged; geographic interdependency signaling the co-location of infrastructure elements; logical interdependency that signals financial, political coordination, and other interactions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Paul Trunfio also seeks to <span>build bridges between science research and education through multiple efforts to adapt research-driven computational models and tools to science education, develop curricula, host workshops and internships, and build mentorships between undergraduate and graduate university students and K-12 students and teachers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Learn more about his research and activities at his <a href=\"http:\/\/polymer.bu.edu\/paul\/\">Personal Homepage<\/a>\u00a0 and his profile page on the Department of Physics website.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3511,"template":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/core\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile\/5184"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/core\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/core\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/profile"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/core\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3511"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/core\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile\/5184\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5197,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/core\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile\/5184\/revisions\/5197"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/core\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5184"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
