I am a Principal Research Scientist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

My research mission is to develop technology that helps large numbers of people work together more effectively to solve difficult real-world challenges. It seems that many of our most critical collective decisions have results (e.g. in terms of climate, economic prosperity, and social stability) that none of us individually want, suggesting that our current collective decision-making processes are deeply flawed. I'd like to contribute to fixing that problem.

My approach in inherently multi-disciplinary, drawing from artificial intelligence, collective intelligence, data science, operations research, complex systems science, economics, management science, and human-computer interaction, amongst other fields.

My background includes a PhD in Artificial Intelligence from the University of Illinois, as well as research and teaching positions at Hitachi, Boeing, Pennsylvania State University, the University of Zurich, the Nagoya Institute of Technology, the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST) in Tokyo Japan, and the School of Collective Intelligence at UM6P in Morocco.

I have over 180 publications (with over 9,000 citations, an h-index of 47, and over 50,000 downloads) and have won US$8 million dollars in research funding.

One of my projects, the Deliberatorium technology suite, is now being commercialized by HiveWise Inc, where I serve as Chief Scientist.

I serve on the editorial boards and program committees for many of the most respected journals and conferences on artificial and collective intelligence. I also serve on the advisory boards for several social computing startups, and am pursuing the commercialization of my own research.

I've taught full-semester university courses on social computing and given scores of tutorials and other invited presentations throughout North and South America, Europe, North Africa, and the Pacific Rim.

I have a long-standing commitment to engagement with the international research community. I've hosted many international visitors in my lab at MIT, and have done extended research visits throughout North and South America, Europe, and the Pacific Rim. I've taught graduate-level classes in Japanese, and had interesting conversations in French and Spanish.
