Information Integrity & Narrative Propagation in Digital Ecosystems
Conducted academic research on misinformation filtering and amplification across digital platforms — analyzing how false narratives enter an information ecosystem, how they propagate through platform architecture, and where algorithmic intervention is most effective. Work integrated theoretical algorithm development with large-scale computational analysis in a formal research environment alongside doctoral and postdoctoral researchers.
What I Did
Applied discrete optimization techniques to model information diffusion patterns across platforms
Developed and evaluated optimization algorithms using Python and C++ for structured data experimentation
Contributed to software tool development supporting information integrity analysis
Produced analytical findings on narrative risk, platform amplification dynamics, and intervention strategies
Research Environment
University of Florida research lab
Collaborated with graduate and postdoctoral researchers
Formal academic research environment
Potential publication pending
Why This Matters
Understanding how false narratives propagate through digital platforms is not just an academic exercise. It is the foundation of how I approach every communications challenge — knowing where information is likely to be manipulated, amplified, or suppressed before a single word is written.
This research background gives me something most communications professionals don't have — a structural understanding of information ecosystems, platform architecture, and algorithmic behavior. Whether the goal is shaping a public narrative, protecting an executive's reputation, or analyzing how a story spreads, the analytical framework is the same.
