Hi! I am Paul André, a postdoc at Carnegie Mellon, working in social computing and crowdsourcing.
My recent work focuses on understanding and designing for awareness. Either in complex artefact collaboration (here with Niki Kittur and Bob Kraut), or previously with identity and social engagement related projects. See projects for details.
I have also spent four hugely enjoyable internships at Microsoft Research (mainly putting Jonathan Grudin's head in a jar.)
