My research interests include Internet-scale systems,
social network analysis, text mining, and visualization. I
work on temporal informatics: the study of the change of
information – and our consumption of it – over time. One
example is Zoetrope, a way of interacting with the Web
that takes into account the fact that Web pages change
frequently and it is nearly impossible to find data or follow
a link after the underlying page evolves. Zoetrope enables
interaction with the historical Web that would otherwise
be lost to time by allowing users to interact with content
streams. That is, users can look back though previous
versions of Web pages and generate visualizations
and extractions of the temporal data. I have also done
important work on a range of other topics, including social
network analysis.
