Iโm on the job market! I design and build systems that reimagine the design of social information spaces (SM platforms and the web) to increase end-user empowerment and reliability of online content.
Please get in touch if you know of any relevant industry or academic positions!
Struggling to fall back asleep when I gain the slightest amount of consciousness, lying in bed debating for hours if I should check the news on Iran, knowing that I wonโt be able to sleep if I doโor if I donโt.
Our good friend @FarnazJ_ is going off to @UMichCSE as an Assistant Professor!
We are so lucky to have been able to share time with Farnaz-- she is a brilliant and talented researcher, a fun and empathetic friend, and overall great person to be around โค๏ธ We will miss her dearly!
