Bao T. Truong
Observatory on Social Media (OSoMe) at Indiana University. Bloomington, USA.
I’m a Ph.D. candidate in Informatics at Indiana University Bloomington, advised by Dr. Fil Menczer. I develop methods to understand complex networks and systems, especially the diffusion of information on social media platforms. I combine machine learning, data science, and network science techniques to gain insight from large-scale human behavior data. The goal is to produce actionable insights for a better online world 🌟✨
At the Observatory on Social Media, I work on ways to combat online misinformation. My research spans from detecting inauthentic actors, to designing agent-based models that aim at assessing the impacts of social media misuse and recommending effective moderation strategies.
