Kiran Garimella is an assistant professor at Rutgers University with over a decade of experience researching large-scale data mining and social media analysis. His trajectory includes postdoctoral appointments at MIT (Michael Hammer Postdoc) and EPFL, a PhD focused on graph mining from Aalto University, and industry internships at Amazon and LinkedIn applying ML to real-world problems like fake-review detection and workforce migration. Kiran’s research on online polarization and social dynamics has been widely covered in international media, reflecting a knack for producing work that resonates beyond academia. He blends rigorous algorithmic graph mining with practical system-building experience from Yahoo Research and research engineering roles, making him equally comfortable with theory and web-scale prototypes. Based in New Brunswick, NJ, he continues to bridge interdisciplinary teams and public-facing scholarship in computational social science.
