Burke, Moira
I'm a Ph.D. candidate in the Human-Computer Interaction Institute at Carnegie Mellon University. With my advisor, Bob Kraut, I perform research that bridges computer science and social psychology, particularly large-scale computational analysis of social patterns in online communities.
