Drawing from human-computer interaction, data science, and computational social science, his work examines how platform affordances influence online communication, community behavior, and user trust.

Trees are used in many applications in computer science, robotics, and game design. One common application is for representing the possible moves in a game or search problem. Imagine that you were exploring the space that a player (character or robot) could move through.
