Marco Nie, Ph.D.
Civil & Environmental Engineering
y-nie@northwestern.edu
847-467-0502
Dr. Nie’s primary interest is to better understand and predict the behavior of transportation networks,
and to formulate new design and control strategies to improve mobility, reliability and sustainability of
these systems. Unlike other networks such as communication and social networks, the behavior of a
transportation network depends on the interactions between human activities (travel choice and driving behavior), physical
characteristics of the infrastructure and network topology. As a result, Dr. Nie’s analyses of transportation systems take an
interdisciplinary approach that draws on tools from optimization, network science, traffic flow theory, economics, and statistics.
His research covers various aspects of transportation systems analysis, ranging from developing specialized routing algorithms to
designing Pareto-improving congestion pricing schemes. Despite their diversity, most problems that I have been working on
address research questions that not only are of theoretical interest but also promise relevant real-world impacts.

Chair, Faculty Handbook Committee
Engineering Science & Applied Mathematics
h-riecke@northwestern.edu
847-491-8316
Dr. Riecke’s research interests are mostly in the area of computational neuroscience. One focus is
plasticity mechanisms and how they restructure neuronal networks. Dr. Riecke is particularly fascinated
by the role of feedback from higher brain areas in the restructuring of networks and the information processing performed by the
networks resulting from it, as it is observed in the olfactory system. To gain insight into these phenomena he investigates networks
of simplified neuron models. Another focus is the coherent dynamics of networks of simple and more complex neurons, which
underlie the rhythmic activity observed in many brain areas. In work on the retina he has focused on biophysically detailed neuron
models. A second area of interest has been the study of spatially extended dynamical systems with focus on pattern formation.
Specific topics investigated have been bifurcation theory with symmetry, spatially localized patterns, complex patterns, and spatio-
temporal chaos.

29WEINBERG COLLEGE OF ARTS & SCIENCES
Marquis Bey, Ph.D.
African-American Studies
marquis.bey@northwestern.edu
Marquis Bey's (they/them, or any pronoun) work focuses on blackness and fugitivity, transness, and black
feminist theory. Bey is particularly concerned with modes of subjectivity that index otherwise ways of
being, utilizing blackness and transness—as fugitive, extra-ontological postures—as names for such
otherwise subjectivities. These two analytics (rather than endowments of the epidermis or specific bodily
morphologies) are the axes around which Bey thinks about subjectivity formation and deformation,
abolition, and political work. Currently, Bey is at work of multiple projects. Forthcoming with Duke
University Press is Bey’s monograph Black Trans Feminism, which attempts to theorize the convergence of blackness, transness, and
black feminism via the Black Radical Tradition, critical theory, and contemporary literature. Additionally, forthcoming with University
of Minnesota Press’s Forerunners series is Bey’s short text The Problem of the Negro as a Problem for Gender, which deeply meditates
on Nahum Chandler’s work, putting into conversation his thinking on paraontologpy and desedimentation with the transness and
gender nonnormativity of transgender studies. Lastly, Bey is in the early stages of a collection of autotheory essays meditating on
the relationship between blackness and the category of cisgender, tentatively entitled Cistem Failure.
The Anthropology Department is currently holding an election.

fellowships from the Getty Research Institute, the Samuel H. Kress Foundation, the Alice Kaplan Institute for the Humanities, the
