Ph.D. Dissertation & Degrees

My dissertation , “Identifying, Annotating, and Filtering Arguments and Opinions in Open Collaboration Systems”, addresses the problem of analyzing, integrating, and reconciling information in online discussions. I also have degrees in library & information science (M.S. UIUC), mathematics (M.A. UT-Austin), and liberal arts (B.A., Great Books, St. John's College).

Previous Positions

Under the NLM research participation program, I spent June and July 2016 at the National Library of Medicine.

For the academic year of 2015-2016 I was at the University of Pittsburgh Department of Biomedical Informatics as a NIDCR / NLM -funded postdoctoral researcher in biomedical informatics . I worked on representing biomedical evidence in nanopublications and micropublications and on understanding evidence synthesis and data reuse in oral health. Beyond the School of Medicine, I was also associated with the Center for Informatics in Oral Health Translational Research at Pitt's School of Dental Medicine.

2013-2015 I was a postdoc in INRIA Sophia Antipolis - Méditerranée, France, in Fabien Gandon's WIMMICS research team , funded by a Marie Curie ERCIM Alain Bensoussan award.

From 2009-2013, during my Ph.D., I worked in the Social Software unit at the Digital Enterprise Research Institute (DERI), Galway under the supervision of Alexandre Passant , with funding from the Science Foundation Ireland Líon2 Project. I was the 2012 Zipf Fellow from CLIR and for 2012 was Honorary Research Associate at the University of Liverpool Department of Computer Science.

I worked in academic libraries and bookstores for 6 years before moving to Ireland's semantic web institute for my Ph.D. I continue to collaborate with cultural heritage organizations, particularly on Library Linked Data.
