Marina Kogan is a PhD candidate in Computer Science at the University of Colorado Boulder. Her research examines how people coordinate and problem-solve in crisis via social media interaction. Kogan received a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science and another in Sociology at the City University of New York, followed by an MA in Sociology at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. With background in both computer and social science, Kogan crosses disciplinary boundaries in her work in human-centered data science, where she applies and develops methods that both harness the power of computational techniques and account for highly situated nature of the social activity in disruption events.
