Daniel Gayo-Avello @ the University of Oviedo

Associate professor in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Oviedo

Daniel Gayo-Avello's main area of interest is Web IR but he has been focused on social media research from the early 2010s, publishing in CACM, IEEE Internet Computing, or IEEE Multimedia. He acted as guest co-editor for a special issue of Internet Research on the predictive power of social media, contributed a chapter on Political Opinion to "Twitter: A Digital Socioscope", and coauthored the book "Retooling Politics: How Digital Media Are Shaping Democracy", published by Cambridge University Press. From March 2023 he is part of ActEU, a EU-funded research project to strengthen trust in democracy.

I'm sharing this photo because people generally like seeing the person they do business with, not because I'm proud of my own picture.
