Mor Naaman

I am an associate professor at Cornell Tech where I am the founder of the Connective Media hub, co-direct the Oath-supported Connected Experiences Lab, and lead the Social Technologies research group. I sometimes consult or even co-found startups. Previously, I was an assistant professor at Rutgers SC&I, led a research team at Yahoo! Research Berkeley, and got a PhD from Stanford. Oh, and played professional basketball.

My lab designs, builds, and studies social systems, with a focus on topics related to Technology, Media and Democracy and the trustworthiness of our information ecosystem. Our sponsors include Yahoo, Google, Facebook and the National Science Foundation.

For prospective PhD students: I will only be considering new students who are committed to working on issues related to Technology, Media and Democracy. Feel free to email me with information about your relevant experience and goals.
