I am a professor of Chemistry at Princeton University, and I’m also affiliated with several of Princeton's interdisciplinary research centers including the Center for Information Technology Policy, the Office of Population Research and the Center for Statistics and Machine Learning. My research interests include computational social science and social networks. During sabbaticals from Princeton, I’ve been a Visiting Professor at Cornell Tech, a Senior Researcher at Microsoft Research, a Member at the Institute for Advanced Study, and Professor in Residence at the New York Times.
