The dynamics of U.S. college network formation on Facebook
Jan Overgoor, Bogdan State
I lead the Computational Social Science group, which is part of the Core Data Science team. I love data, and using it to shape Facebook’s current and future products, and also gleaning insights about the fascinating paths information takes through social networks. Prior to joining Facebook, I was an associate professor at the School of Information + Center for the Study of Complex systems at the University of Michigan. I taught a Social Network Analysis course via Coursera.
