Academic Experience

Carnegie Mellon University, H. John Heinz III College
Postdoctoral Fellow, Dr. Alessandro Acquisti, 2011–Present
Affiliate, Cylab Usable Privacy and Security Lab, 2011–Present
I conduct research on the economics, behavioral economics, policy, and design implications of privacy in social media. Current work explores disclosure patterns in social network sites over time, “nudges” that affect privacy attitudes and behaviors, and the rise of “personally predictable” information. Work supported by NSF IIS-0713361 and ITW-SBO. Led to award [A.4], conference paper [C.7], chapter [B.3], sponsored report [SR.2], invited talks [IT.21–24], and media coverage [MC.20–21].

University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, School of Information and Library Science
Research Assistant, Dr. Gary Marchionini, 2005–2007, 2010–2011
In 2010 and 2011, I served as project manager for the Lifetime Library a perpetual digital library and archive for UNC students. Between 2005 and 2007, I developed social media corpora and used these corpora in the evaluation of systems for faceted information retrieval. Work supported by Microsoft Research Award “Annotations of Structured Data.” Led to dissertation [T.1], awards [A.1–2], journal article [J.1], conference papers [C.1–4], short papers [P.2–3], workshop [O.1], magazine article [M.2], panels [RP.1–3], invited talks [IT.1–9], and media coverage [MC.1,4,16].

University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, School of Information and Library Science
Teaching Fellow, 2007–2010
As teaching fellow, I prepared and taught two original courses, Online Social Networks and Technologies of Friendship: Relational Perspectives on Computer-Mediated Communication, serving as instructor of record for six semesters. During my fellowship, I supervised five independent research projects, receiving the Graduate Mentor Support Grant from the UNC Office of Undergraduate Research. Led to grant [G.6], award [A.3], journal article [J.3], conference paper [C.6], invited talks [K.3, IT.17], classes [I.1–6], and supervised theses [SS.1–5].

Research Experience

     
Microsoft Research New England
Visiting Researcher, June 2011
As guest of Dr. danah boyd, I presented research and provided feedback on research to doctoral-level research interns. I consulted on a national-probability survey of parental attitudes toward age limits for social network sites, and developed collaborative research with Dr. Nicole Ellison (MSU), and Airi Lampinen (UC-Berkeley/HIIT).

Odum Institute for Research in Social Science
Survey Practicum, Fall 2009
Under direction of Theresa Edwards (UNC-Chapel Hill), I participated in the design and management of two probability surveys. The first, a web survey of probation officers in North Carolina, involved programming the randomized solicitation mechanism, and developing and testing the survey. The second, a phone survey of political attitudes in North Carolina, involved development of the call script, and quality assurance (monitoring) of interviewers.

Survey Consulting, Spring 2009
Under direction of Dr. Paul Edwards (RTI International) and Dr. Frauke Kreuter (Maryland), I consulted on the design and development of surveys with three clients: National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH), Arbitron Inc., and Add Health.

Pew Internet and American Life Foundation
Mobile Phone Technology Survey, Fall 2008–Spring 2009
