Matthew R. DeVerna

I am a computational social scientist interested in human-AI interaction, its impact on behavior and society, and how AI shapes individual choices and broader social outcomes on digital platforms.

I recently earned a PhD in Informatics from Indiana University, where I work with Dr. Filippo Menczer at the Observatory on Social Media. In September 2025, I will join Stanford's Cyber Policy Center as a postdoctoral scholar, working with Dr. Jeffrey Hancock in the Social Media Lab . Previously, I earned an MA in Psychology from New York University, where I collaborated with Dr. Josh Tucker at the Center for Social Media and Politics and was advised by Dr. John Jost.
