A computer scientist working in computational social science, studying the behaviors of social media platforms — particularly their recommender systems — and how they can be made better.
I’m a computer scientist working in computational social science. I study and investigate the behaviors of social media platforms, particularly their recommender systems, and subsequently argue and demonstrate how these platforms can be made better. My work combines social science theory with NLP, machine learning, and causal inference.
I’m part of the IDea_Lab at the University of Graz and a member of the Center for Publics, Platforms & Personalization (CP3). I hold a PhD in Computer Science from the University of Iowa, advised by Rishab Nithyanand, and was previously a research associate with Rachel Greenstadt at NYU.
If you have thoughts about any of this, I’d love to hear them: email me.
