Cristian David Contreras Gamba
Biography
Hi I’m David! I’m a PhD student in Information Science at the University of Michigan. I work with Daniel Romero and Grant Schoenebeck. Previously, I worked for a few years in the field of Analytics and Data Science. I worked in positions from consulting to data engineering to model developing, in applications mainly in forecasting and recommendation systems. I came back to academia to develop research on my interest in data science for social good and for understanding societies and groups.
My research centers on ML and AI for collective consensus, preference modeling, and decision-making. I’m also looking to apply these methodologies to social contexts such as content moderation, text consensus and participatory democracies.
