David Lazer is a world renowned computational social scientist, a distinguished Professor in the Department of Political Science and College of Computer and Information Science at Northeastern University, and Director of the Program on Networked Governance (PNG) at Harvard. David’s work is based on the idea that networks of connections influence the functioning, success and failure of actors and systems. His research covers everything from the very micro (social influence processes within groups), to the very macro (the development of global-wide regulatory regimes). David's research is widely cited, has received extensive financial support from DARPA, NSF, NIH and private funding agencies, and is reported in media outlets worldwide.
On March 2, 2018, he will speak at Northwestern University on the topic of “Computational Approaches for Identifying Fake News.”
