Portrait of Phil Chodrow, slightly smiling directly at the camera with autumn trees in the background.

Welcome!

I’m Dr. Phil Chodrow, an assistant professor in the Department of Computer Science at Middlebury College. My pronouns are he/him/his.

Research

My research focuses on network science, the study of connected systems in society and nature. I draw on methods from applied mathematics, machine learning, statistics, and physics. I also work on data science projects to promote equity and sustainability. I have awesome collaborators.

Teaching

In Spring ’24 I am teaching CSCI 0451: Machine Learning and CSCI 0702: Senior Thesis.

I am on a mission. I teach other courses. Middlebury students might want to take a look at my FAQs.
