Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolTom Van Nuenen is a researcher and educator with 10 years of interdisciplinary experience at the intersection of computational social science, digital humanities, and algorithmic governance. As a Project Scientist and curriculum lead at UC Berkeley’s Social Sciences Data Lab, he designs and delivers a portfolio of 20+ workshops while researching norms and biases in large language models. He teaches critical digital humanities courses that fuse hermeneutic theory with computational text analysis and has led applied projects on algorithmic discrimination and consumer data autonomy across UK and EU research centers. Tom’s work combines rigorous qualitative methods (interviews, hermeneutics) with large-scale quantitative analysis, and he has translated survey and interview findings into data infrastructures for research and policy. Based in Berkeley, he brings a rare blend of humanities scholarship and data-science pedagogy that shapes how social scientists learn and critique AI systems.
