About Me
I am a social scientist, writer and artist, based in London.
I am currently a Lecturer in Digital Humanities at Kings College London. I have held positions at the University of Helsinki, Finland and Linköping University, Sweden. I completed my PhD in Sociology at Goldsmiths, University of London.
My research generally concerns the social aspects of big data, algorithms and AI in various fields. I also frequently work with computer scientists and designers to develop automated tools for the analysis and visualization of data.
I am also interested in topics related to science and democracy, online peer production, social science methods and pragmatist philosophy. A book I edited with Steve Woolgar, Else Vogel and CF Helgesson called The Imposter as Social Theory was recently published by Bristol University Press.
I was previously a writer and editor for The Quietus.com and in my spare time I make experimental music, using the online data I gather as part of my research.
I am currently working on a book about the history of algorithms and decision making.
