More and more, the way we communicate is through social computing. Pam Wisniewski, Ph.D., assistant professor of computer science, examines how people are managing their social interactions with others through the use of technology. Her team studies the juxtaposition of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), Social Computing, and Privacy.
