Publications
As a result of my interdisciplinary research, I have published in top-tier outlets in both Social and Computer Sciences. In Sociology, refereed articles in peer-reviewed journals provide the ‘gold standard’ of research excellence. In Computer Science, peer-reviewed articles published in conference proceedings are the ‘gold standard’ due to innovation and time constraints.
