Senior🎓
Top SchoolMark Whiting is a Chief Scientist and interdisciplinary researcher with 13 years of experience at the intersection of HCI, CSCW, and innovation systems, blending rigorous PhD-level engineering training from Carnegie Mellon with hands-on product and design practice. He has led research and technical efforts at Stanford and Penn under prominent labs (including work with Duncan Watts and Michael Bernstein) and currently shapes strategy and research at Pareto.AI while holding a research fellowship at the University of Pennsylvania. His work focuses on improving coordination in socio-technical systems, drawing on industrial design sensibilities from earlier roles and practical front-end contributions to notable open-source projects like the Daemo crowdsourcing platform. Comfortable toggling between academic inquiry and product delivery, he brings a rare mix of design-led thinking, empirical social-science methods, and production-facing engineering. Based in Orinda, CA, he often bridges worlds few do—turning CSCW insights into deployable interfaces and platform improvements.
