Jilin Chen

Author: Jilin Chen

I'm a PhD Candidate at GroupLens Research, University of Minnesota. I build systems that help people find useful information in social media by inferring interest, influence, and social relationships from "digital traces" that people left online. I also analyze the dynamics of online groups in social media using social psychology theories.

In recent years I have also been lucky enough to work as interns for various industry research labs, including Xerox PARC, IBM Research, and Microsoft Research Asia.
