Assistant Professor, I am an Assistant Professor at Michigan State University with a joint appointment in the School of Journalism and the Department of Telecommunications, Information Studies and Media. I completed my PhD at the School of Information at the University of Michigan working under Jeff MacKie-Mason. My research focuses on understanding the motivations and incentives of users of social media systems, and looking at how those incentives lead to group-level patterns of behavior.
I am one of the lead PIs in the Behavior, Information, and Technology Lab (BITLab) at MSU. Most of my research projects are coordinated through that website.
