Efficient Spectral Algorithms for Massive and Dynamic Graphs
EPSRC Early Career Fellowship
Efficient Spectral Algorithms for Massive and Dynamic Graphs is an EPSRC Fellowship awarded to He Sun (EP/T00729X/1). The fellowship studies advances of spectral graph theory, designs efficient spectral algorithms for massive and dynamic graphs, and develops an open-source library of spectral algorithms for graphs. With a total award of 1,507,133 pounds, the Fellowship runs from 2020 to 2024, and the current team consists of the PI, 2 Postdocs, and 3 PhD students.

STAG: Spectral Toolkit of Algorithms for Graphs
As part of the Fellowship, we are developing STAG, an open-source library of efficient spectral algorithms for graphs. STAG is the first such algorithmic library mainly written in C++, with a python wrapper around the underlying C++ library for python users. The source code of STAG can be found from our GitHub page, and will be updated actively. More information can be also found from the STAG website.
