I am an Associate Professor of Organizational Behavior at Stanford’s Graduate School of Business. I specialize in computational social science, artificial intelligence, and psychometrics. I earned a Ph.D. in psychology from the University of Cambridge, where I pioneered methods of inferring personal attributes and traits from digital footprints. 

I published over 80 peer-reviewed papers in leading scientific journals (e.g., Nature Computational Science, PNAS, JPSP, American Psychologist), a popular textbook, Modern Psychometrics, and several chapters, including in the seminal Handbook of Social Psychology. My work has been cited over 25,000 times (h-index: 63), putting me among the Top 1% of the Highly Cited Researchers. I was recognized with awards such as the ARP's Early Career Award, SPSP's Distinguished Fellowship, EAPP's Early Achievement Award, and APS's Rising Star Award. My research has inspired a cover of The Economist, a 2014 theatre production titled “Privacy,” several TED talks, and a video game. It has been featured in thousands of press articles, books, podcasts, and documentaries.

Beyond academia, I regularly advise government agencies and leading companies on AI's ethical and practical implications. I have testified before entities such as the FTC, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the E.U. Parliament, and the DoJ. My work directly informed privacy regulations and resulted in a record $5 billion fine levied on Facebook. I was behind the first press article warning against Cambridge Analytica. My research exposed the privacy risks they exploited and assessed the effectiveness of their methods, as reported in Levy's book "Facebook: The Inside Story." 

I donate at least 10% of my income to effective charities. Perhaps I could inspire you to do the same!
