Welcome to my new website

I am interested in studying social, group and political behaviour. I apply techniques from mathematical modelling, machine learning and data science to these topics. Studies include:

• Impacts of online vaccine misinformation on vaccines uptake
• Measuring the performance of different categories of political TikTok posts
• Understanding how and why people post about UK immigration
• I was among the first to identify and online communities, often known as echo chambers, on Twitter
• And I’ve worked on social behaviour in many animals including Bees! Why do bee colonies collapse?

I am currently working freelance, I have previously held these positions

• Executive Director of the Indiana University Observatory on Social Media
• Senior Research Fellow at Royal Holloway University of London
• Research Fellow at University of Leeds
