My research is focused on information quality, social media, and online-offline links. My lab is particularly interested in malicious online behavior and the online-to-offline violence pipeline. Our work covers mis- and dis-information, conspiracy theories, harassment and online threats, extremism, and radicalization. We bring theory from the social sciences, psychology, and humanities to inform our analysis of human behavior.
We also apply these lenses to AI treating it as an actor. This includes work on how people treat and interact with AI-generated content, AI harms, and the bi-directional relationship between AI-driven feeds and user behavior.
My papers are best found on Google Scholar. If you can't find a PDF there of something you need, please drop me an email.
