Mel Allen
Graduate Research Assistant

I am a Network Science PhD student at Northeastern University. My research focuses on the aesthetics of online radicalization and cancer misinformation, and I'm broadly interested in social media, data science, public health, science communication, and design. Currently I work with the Communication Media and Marginalization (COMM) Lab and the Psychology of Misinformation (PoM) lab, and I am advised by Dr. Brooke Foucault Welles and Dr. Briony Swire-Thompson.
