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