Sanjay Kairam

I’m a first-year PhD student in the Computer Science Department at Stanford University looking at how people interact with information and one another within large online communities and networks. I haven’t formally settled in with an advisor or research group yet, but you can usually find me splitting my time between the HCI Group and the InfoLab. Prior to joining Stanford, I worked for a couple years with the Augmented Social Cognition Group at PARC, where I got to contribute to a number of projects in the area of social computing and cognition, including examining social search activities, designing enterprise collaboration tools, and modeling learning on the web.

Research keywords: online communities, social networks, human-information interaction, information networks, computational social science.
