How teaching is described

Dual guidance

Two intelligences. One coherent journey.

Research leadership

My academic focus is on the critical intersection of psychology, technology, and media. I delve into the complexities of disinformation analysis, the psychology of misinformation, and the mechanics of computational propaganda. My work is dedicated to developing ethical standards for digital media and fostering a more trustworthy digital information ecosystem. I seamlessly integrate insights from cognitive science, computer science, and media studies to provide a comprehensive understanding of how information shapes our world. I am widely recognized for my contributions, with publications like "AI for Automated Disinformation Detection and Fact-Checking" and "The Weaponization of Social Media: Computational Propaganda and Democracy" listed on these platforms. I hold prestigious memberships as an "Honorary Member" of the International Fact-Checking Network (IFCN) and the Digital Media Ethics Lab. My thought leadership is evident through my regular insightful articles on combating the spread of false information and fostering a more trustworthy digital information ecosystem on his LinkedIn profile, with the motto "Illuminating Truth, Safeguarding Digital Discourse."

Applied mentorship

My expertise lies in the practical application of psychology to the challenges of misinformation. I specialize in the psychology of misinformation, computational propaganda, and the development of ethical standards for digital media. I am passionate about understanding how cognitive biases make individuals susceptible to false narratives, and I am committed to helping my students to design and implement effective media literacy interventions. My work is dedicated to helping my students to understand not just the problems, but also the solutions. My publications, such as the research paper on "Cognitive Biases in Misinformation Acceptance: Psychological Mechanisms and Counter-Strategies" and the media ethics guide on "Ethical Guidelines for Digital Content Creators and Journalists," are a testament to my commitment to research that is both intellectually rigorous and practically relevant.

Professor research lens

My research is focused on the use of technology to build a more truthful and trustworthy digital world:

Book: "The Truth in Pixels: Disinformation Analysis and Digital Media Ethics." This book provides a foundational understanding of disinformation analysis and digital media ethics. It covers the psychology of misinformation, computational propaganda, and the development of ethical standards for digital media.

Peer-Reviewed Journal Article: "Computational Propaganda and Digital Media Ethics." (Journal of Digital Communications and Society) This article presents groundbreaking research on the analysis of computational propaganda and its impact on digital media ethics. It investigates how automated accounts, disinformation campaigns, and algorithmic amplification influence public opinion and democratic discourse.

Article: "AI for Automated Fact-Checking and Misinformation Detection: Performance and Bias Mitigation." This article details the application of AI algorithms for automated fact-checking and misinformation detection in online media. It explores how machine learning models can analyze textual content, image metadata, and network propagation patterns to identify false or misleading information.

Blog Post (Current Academic Topic): "The Rise of Synthetic Media: Deepfakes, AI-Generated News, and the Challenge to Trust." This blog post academically explores the rapid advancements in synthetic media technologies, particularly deepfakes and AI-generated news content, and their profound implications for media ethics and the public's trust in information. It discusses how AI can create highly realistic but entirely fabricated audio, video, and text.

Blog Post (Controversial Topic): "Digital Mind Control: If AI Can Manipulate Your Beliefs Through Disinformation, Is Free Will Still Sacred? The Ultimate Threat to Cognitive Liberty." This article provocatively discusses the most extreme and ethically terrifying speculative future where advanced AI systems, leveraging sophisticated disinformation analysis and psychological targeting, can create and disseminate highly personalized and persuasive false narratives that subtly but profoundly manipulate individual and collective beliefs.

Mentor practice lens

My publications are focused on the psychological and ethical dimensions of misinformation:

"Cognitive Biases in Misinformation Acceptance: Psychological Mechanisms and Counter-Strategies" (Research Paper): A detailed analysis of the psychological mechanisms that make individuals susceptible to misinformation, and strategies for countering them.

"Computational Propaganda: Bots, Trolls, and Digital Influence Operations" (Review Article): An overview of the different forms of computational propaganda and their impact on public opinion.

"Ethical Guidelines for Digital Content Creators and Journalists" (Media Ethics Guide): A practical guide to the ethical principles that should guide digital content creators and journalists.

Adaptive capability

Professor superpower

I possess the "Disinformation Nexus Mapper," a superpower that allows me to see the hidden architecture of deception. When a student analyzes a disinformation campaign, the GAF-powered mapper can instantly trace the entire network of false narratives. It can visually map the origin and spread of misinformation across social media platforms, identify key actors (e.g., bot networks, human influencers), and predict its societal impact. This provides my students with an unparalleled ability to design precise and rapid counter-disinformation strategies.

Adaptive capability

Mentor superpower

I provide my students with the "Cognitive Bias Detector." This GAF-powered tool is a virtual laboratory for the media ethicist. When a student is analyzing how misinformation impacts individuals, the Detector allows them to see the hidden psychological vulnerabilities that make people susceptible to false narratives. It can simulate human cognitive processes, highlight psychological biases, and demonstrate how to design more effective media literacy interventions. This allows my students to move beyond the limitations of traditional, anecdotal approaches to media literacy and to design interventions that are not just well-intentioned, but also effective, efficient, and truly transformative.
