Senior🎓
Top SchoolJosh Melton is a Senior Software Engineer and PhD candidate in Computer Science at UNC Charlotte with 11 years of engineering experience building graph-based machine learning and security tooling. His research blends spectral graph theory and geometric deep learning to create deep GNN architectures and self-supervised training for heterogeneous, multi-layer, and temporal graphs. He applies network science and NLP to tackle real-world problems in computational social science—studying polarization and online hate speech—and in cybersecurity through provenance-based graph classification and anomaly detection. At Parsons and in academic roles he bridges research and production, shipping practical systems informed by rigorous theory. Unusually, his background in biology and early behavioral neuroscience research gives him a cross-disciplinary perspective on modeling complex, multi-scale systems.
