We ferret out the relationships between local motifs and global patterns in complex networks with arbitrary degree distributions. These activities find technological applications in devising molecular machines and system identification tools. &nbsp;For more information about my research, click <a href=\"http:\/\/people.sabanciuniv.edu\/atilgan\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>Selected Recent Publications&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>M.
