About
I am a researcher at the intersection of the social and computer sciences. The focus of my research is the diffusion of social contagions (rumors, virally marketed products) through social networks, but my interests extend more broadly to social media analysis, social network analysis and agent-based modeling. I believe strongly in doing applied research - I think that social science has reached the point where it can help us predict social phenomena at a large-scale level and inform policy decisions accordingly.
