My work and interests lie at the intersection of computation and social science. As an undergraduate, I double majored in computer science and film studies at Tel-Aviv University. I have been exploring the connections between computation and culture ever since. I have an MA in sociology from Goldsmiths College, University of London, and a PhD in sociology from Princeton University. My work is not easily described using standard labels. I use computationally intensive language- and network-based methods applied to big data to model cultural dynamics in organizations, markets, and informal social groups. My research projects all share an overarching theme: the desire to understand the social mechanisms that underlie how people construct meaning and consequently pursue action.

Sameer B. Srivastava
Associate Professor and Harold Furst Chair in Management Philosophy and Values
My research unpacks the interrelationships among the culture of social groups, the cognition of individuals in these groups, and the connections that people forge within and across groups. Much of my work is set in organizational contexts, where I use computational methods to examine how culture, cognition, and networks relate to career outcomes. As an undergraduate, I studied Economics at Harvard College. I then pursued a career in management consulting, earning an MBA from Harvard Business School along the way and eventually becoming a partner at Monitor Group (now Monitor Deloitte). I then returned to Harvard for a PhD in Organizational Behavior and Sociology. My work spans, and draws novel connections among, multiple levels of analysis. Although anchored in sociology, my research draws insight and perspective from neighboring disciplines such as social psychology, political science, and linguistics.
