He is currently serving as the co-chair of the 2017 BU Data Science (BUDS) Day conference, as part of the Institute&#8217;s Data Science Initiative. His research applies empirical techniques to large-scale social networks and networked systems in order to understand the role of online interactions in the diffusion of information, behaviors, and dynamic processes. His work fuses in-the-wild networked randomized trials with large-scale data analysis to inform new policies and incentive structures that seek to promote or discourage behavioral and economic outcomes at the individual, community, and population level.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/scholar.google.com\/citations?user=Zxl8XVMAAAAJ&amp;hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Google Scholar<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8550,"template":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/hic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile\/7071"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/hic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/hic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/profile"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/hic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8550"}],"version-history":[{"count":12,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/hic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile\/7071\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":29927,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/hic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile\/7071\/revisions\/29927"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/hic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7071"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
