I’m interested in social and organizational networks, collective dynamics of human systems, web-based experiments, and analysis of large-scale digital data, including production, consumption, and absorption of news.
I am also the inaugural President of the International Society for Computational Social Science (ISCSS), an organization committed to advancing path-breaking research at the intersection of the computational, experimental, social, and behavioral sciences. Comprised of multidisciplinary researchers from around the globe, the Society’s main purpose is to organize and manage the annual International Conference on Computational Social Science (IC²S²), which has emerged as the dominant conference in the field.
