Matt is a postdoctoral scholar at Stanford's Tech Impact and Policy Center, working with Dr. Jeffrey Hancock in the Social Media Lab. He has a PhD in Informatics from Indiana University, where he studied complex networks and systems with Dr. Filippo Menczer at the Observatory on Social Media. His research examines how artificial intelligence is reshaping the internet—how we find information, form beliefs, and relate to one another online. Adopting a computational social science approach, Matt has explored topics like information diffusion dynamics, superspreaders of low-credibility content, and large language model fact checking. He utilizes diverse methods, including large-scale data analysis, agent-based simulations, and experimental studies. Matt's work has appeared in international journals such as PNAS and has been featured in prominent outlets, including AP News, Tech Policy Press, Axios, Slate, Time, and The New York Times Magazine.
