Ágnes Horvát is an Associate Professor in Communication and Computer Science (by courtesy) at Northwestern University. Her research lies at the intersection of social computing, computational social science, and communication. Using interdisciplinary approaches from network and data science, her research group, the Lab on Innovation, Networks, and Knowledge (LINK), investigates how networks induce biased information production, sharing, and processing on digital platforms. For example, they study the impact of networks and diversity on scholarly communication, identify expressions of collective intelligence and opportunities for innovation in crowdsourcing communities, and develop tools to support creativity and predict success in culture industries. Professor Horvát is the recipient of several awards, including the US National Science Foundation’s CAREER Award. She received her PhD in Physics from the University of Heidelberg, Germany.
