Bio/Research Statement:
I am interested in measuring and modeling social dynamics. Before graduate school, I spent a good deal of time developing highly stylized agent-based models. For the better or worse I now just deal directly with data, and conduct large-scale studies of online communities. My current focus is on two related processes in social networks: information diffusion and influence.

Current Research:
My two active research projects examine how people influence one another in social media networks.

Jennifer Lee and son Aiden

Cal Lee (MSI '99, Ph.D. '05) is now an assistant professor at the University of North Carolina. At SI he distinguished himself with his research in the archives and records management field. In 2002, Lee was the first winner of the Paul Evan Peters Fellowship for graduate study in the information sciences or librarianship. The award is sponsored by the Coalition for Networked Information and "recognizes not only outstanding scholarship and intellectual rigor, but also civic responsibility, democratic values, and imagination, honoring the memory of CNI founding executive director Paul Evan Peters."
