Top SchoolLibby Hemphill is an Associate Professor and Research Associate Professor at the University of Michigan who blends computational methods and machine learning with deep expertise in digital curation to make social media archives more usable and impactful for researchers. She directs the Resource Center for Minority Data and the Social Media Archive at ICPSR, where her work quantifies how curation choices shape access, reuse, and the design of archival services. Her research also tackles online harm mitigation and the wellbeing of volunteer moderators by turning social media data into actionable moderation strategies.
