MISDOOM symposium: misinformation in online media

Posted on December 21, 2018January 14, 2019 by frank

The Multidisciplinary International Symposium on Open Online Media (MISDOOM) aims to bring together researchers and practitioners from communication science, computer science, and economy, as well as journalists and online media professionals to discuss current topics, technical advances and societal challenges in the area of online media. I am happy to serve as program chair for this exciting symposium. Be sure to submit your paper before January 26 via the website: https://www.misdoom.org.

ABOUT ME
I am an associate professor at LIACS, the computer science and AI department of Faculty of Science of Leiden University. My research interest is in network science, in particular methods and algorithms for analyzing (social) network data, with applications in economics, science studies and computational social science.

Currently, I am head of the Leiden Computational Network Science research group, academic co-director of the Dutch POPNET research platform for population-scale social network analysis and board member (former chair) of the Dutch Network Science Society. I am director of education of the LIACS bachelor programmes Informatica (Computer Science) and Data Science & Artificial Intelligence. I teach courses on competitive programming and social network analysis.
