Social Networks, Social Dynamics, Collective Phenomena, Digital Marketing, Diffusion of Information and Innovation
I am the Vice Dean of Research at the Jerusalem Business School and a member of the Federmann Center for the Study of Rationality, both at the Hebrew University, Jerusalem, Israel. I finished my PhD at the Hebrew university in Jerusalem and after a two-years post-doc at Yale university I was faculty at the Tuck Business School, Dartmouth College in NH, USA before I moved back to Israel.
Research Interests
I am interested in the intersection of online behavior, user-generated content, social networks, and economic systems, with a focus on how digital interactions shape decision-making, market dynamics, and the spread of information. My research spans a variety of topics, from manipulation and patterns in online reviews to the structure of online communities, and the "social" interactions of Large Language Models, and the dynamics of information diffusion.
