About

I am an assistant professor at the Rutgers School of Communication and Information, in the department of Library and Information Science, where I run the Social Media Information Lab. I am also the Co-founder and Chief Scientist at Mahaya, Inc. Earlier, I spent some time at Yahoo! Research Berkeley, and at Stanford.
