I am an associate professor at the University at Buffalo and Director of the cUbelab. At UB, I am affiliated with the Department of AI and Society, where I am the Director of Graduate Studies, the Computer Science and Engineering Department, and the Institute for AI and Data Science, where I am the Associate Director for Strategic Planning.

In the past, I was a postdoc at the LazerLab at the Network Science Institute at Northeastern University and a fellow at Harvard's Institute for Quantitative Social Science. I completed my graduate work in the Societal Computing program in the School of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University, where I studied under Kathleen Carley in the CASOS lab.

I am the recipient of an NSF CAREER award; in addition to NSF, my work and teaching have also been generously supported in part by grants from the Mozilla Foundation, Amazon, and the Office of Naval Research.

Outside of work, I identify primarily as a lame suburban dad, doing lame suburban dad things like mulching, making bad jokes, and playing old man hockey.
