Portrait of Kenneth Joseph, University at Buffalo computing for social good expert.

Kenneth Joseph uses machine learning, natural language processing, simulations and other computer science techniques to study social and cultural issues.

He is interested in how computing can be used to understand societal problems and advance social good. Within this framework, his research has delved into a variety of topics, such as use of social media in disaster response, gender bias in the workplace, misinformation and politics, and patterns of online local news consumption in the U.S. during the COVID-19 pandemic.
