About the Author

Milo Trujillo (he/him) is a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the CoMM Lab at the Network Science Institute of Northeastern University, an affiliate researcher with Harvard’s Institute for Quantitative Social Science, a researcher with the Media Landscape Lab and Reddit Bandits research group, and a data scientist at Distributed Denial of Secrets. Milo’s work focuses on the relationship between the design of our online spaces (including both technical and social structure) and online group behavior.

Milo was a PhD student in the Joint Lab and BagLab of the Complex Systems Institute at the University of Vermont. Before then Milo was a graduate computer and social scientist in the Information Trust Group at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, where his research focused on network science and social networks. He applied some of this research as a systems designer with The Pursuance Project. As an undergraduate Milo concentrated on surveillance and security, and co-taught an introductory course for RPISEC, RPI’s computer security club, for three semesters. During this period he founded the Daylighting Society to collaborate on privacy, surveillance, and security work.

Sometimes he writes about himself in the third person. You can see him write more on Mastodon, Bluesky, and GitHub.
