BEDOOR ALSHEBLI

I am an Assistant Professor of Computational Social Science at New York University Abu Dhabi, UAE. I received my PhD in Interdisciplinary Engineering in 2017 from Masdar Institute of Science and Technology, and my MSc in Computer Science from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. My research focuses on using data science techniques to study social phenomena, with a particular emphasis in the Science of Science. I am  interested in the social and economic benefits of diversity, as well as the dynamics of social interaction and cohesion, and frame social science problems in the contexts of data science, big data, and applied machine learning.

Cumulatively, my work contributes to the fields of computational social science, data science, and machine learning, and has appeared in major academic journals, including Nature Human Behavior, Nature Communications, Science Advances, and Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. It has also been featured in Nature News, Times Higher Education, Physics World, New Scientist, and many other outlets.
