About me
I am a Research Assistant Professor at the University of Southern California (USC) and a Lead Scientist at the USC Information Sciences Institute (ISI). My research leverages machine learning, data science, and network science to detect, investigate, and mitigate online harms in socio-technical systems. I study malicious behaviors, misinformation, and manipulation dynamics on social media to design algorithms for their detection and identify actionable insights for their mitigation. My study and interest fall into research areas such as AI, computational social science, and human-machine interaction.
Research interests

My research encompasses machine learning, data and network science for exploring social phenomena in online ecosystem

I investigate abusive and malicious behaviours on social media with particular emphasis on misinformation and manipulation dynamics

I am interested in exploring how social influence can impact information and behaviour diffusion on web platforms and real life
