image028Paul Leonardi (Ph.D., Stanford University) is the Pentair-Nugent Associate Professor at Northwestern University. He teaches courses on the management of innovation and organizational change in the School of Communication, the McCormick School of Engineering, and the Kellogg School of Management. Leonardi’s research focuses on how companies can create organizational structures and employ advanced information technologies to more effectively create and share knowledge. He is particularly interested in how data intensive technologies, such as simulation and social media tools, enable new ways to access, store, and share information; how the new sources of information these technologies provide can change work routines and communication partners; and how shifts in employees’ work and communication alter the nature of an organization’s expertise.

 

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERAAlina Lungeanu is a PhD candidate in Technology and Social Behavior at Northwestern University. Her research examines the assembly of scientific teams and the role of scientific collaborations in the emergence and evolution of new scientific fields. She is a member of the Science of Networks in Communities (SONIC) Research Laboratory where she has performed extensive analyses comparing the assembly of funded and unfunded NSF proposals teams and capturing the mechanisms by which the sub-discipline of Oncofertility has emerged and was shaped by the NIH funded Interdisciplinary Research Consortium.  In her work, Alina applies social networks concepts and methodological tools, as well as theories and concepts from the wider field of social science.

 

image031Michael Macy is Goldwin Smith Professor of Sociology and director of the Social Dynamics Laboratory at Cornell University. His recent research uses data from Twitter to track diurnal and seasonal mood changes; telephone call logs to measure network structure at the population level; and Amazon book reviews to determine whether reviewers are influenced by previous reviews. He has also used computational models to study the spread of high- threshold social contagions on small-world and scale- free networks. Macy’s research has been published in such leading journals as Science, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the American Journal of Sociology, the American Sociological Review, and the Annual Review of Sociology. He earned his PhD from Harvard University.
