I am a computational sociologist of science and culture. I study the social production of collective intelligence and the evolutionary dynamics of ideas. The rich nexus of cognition, culture, and computation is an emerging focus in my group; for example, we use machine learning to mine cultural meaning from text and multi-agent (deep) reinforcement learning to study the emergence of cooperation. I am broadly interested in the dialogue between the social sciences and theoretical machine learning, as well as the social and ethical implications of artificial intelligence. I am founding co-Director of the Diverse Intelligences Summer Institute, a program that aims to build community, collaboration, and creative thinking among early career scholars interested in the study of mind, cognition, and intelligence of diverse forms and formats—from ants and apes to humans and AI.
