Networks arise pervasively in biology, physics, technology, social science, and myriad other areas. An ordinary network consists of a collection of entities (called nodes) that interact via edges. "Multilayer networks" are a more general representation that can be used when nodes are connected to each other via multiple types of edges or a network changes in time. In this talk, I will discuss how to find dense sets of nodes called "communities" in multilayer networks and some applications of community structure to problems in neuroscience and finance.
