DAMBANEMUYA

I am a researcher in technology and social behavior. I develop computational techniques to understand and help solve human societal-scale problems such as conflict, poverty, and food insecurity. I use theory-driven investigations that rely on mining Big Data about human interactions and behavior, online experiments and surveys, crowdsourcing, text analysis, and machine learning and statistical modeling frameworks. Supported by these novel approaches, my research advances theories of collective intelligence and complex systems and makes methodological contributions toward human-centered AI and crowd-aware system design. The core contributions of my work are relevant to computational social science, network science, social computing, and increasingly for machine intelligence and human-machine communication. My contributions in these areas are demonstrated by presentations in prime venues such as the International Conference on Computational Social Science (IC2S2), the Network Science..
