Sandra González-Bailón is an associate professor at the Annenberg School for Communication, and affiliated faculty at the
Warren Center for Network and Data Sciences. Sandra is broadly interested in how internet technologies shape the flow of
information and how online networks influence exposure to ideas and debates. Her research lies at the intersection of network science, data mining, computational tools, and political communication. Her applied research looks at how online
networks shape exposure to information, with implications for how we think about political engagement, mobilization dynamics, information diffusion, and news consumption. She is the author of the book, Decoding the Social World (MIT Press, 2017).
