    Michael Kearns
    Professor of Computer and Information Science, Penn

    The Internet has vastly amplified our opportunities for networking of all kinds, and researchers have been hard at work describing the properties of these new social structures. But whether it is a matter of influencing an election or finding the right mate, how does our behavior affect others within these structures? How does a person’s position in a social network, for example, determine her bargaining power? Penn computer scientist Michael Kearns explores the strategies we deploy in modern technological and social networks.
