About

I am an assistant professor at the Rutgers School of Communication and Information, in the department of Library and Information Science. Before coming to Rutgers I spent some time at Yahoo! and Stanford.

My research focuses on social information and social media, with excursions to mobile and multimedia applications: what can we learn from the activity of people on social media services about the world, about society, and about people?
