Northrop has canceled all events until at least Apr 30 in an effort to help contain the spread of COVID-19.

Sneha Narayan is assistant professor of Computer Science at Carleton College. Before her current appointment, Narayan worked on a PhD in the Technology and Social Behavior program at Northwestern University. Her research is focused on understanding how technical systems foster participation and collaboration in decentralized volunteer communities such as Wikipedia and fan wikis.

Shilad Sen is a professor in the Department of Online Mathematics, Statistics, and Computer Science at Macalaster College. Sen studies member-maintained websites that empower Internet users to contribute information, such as photographs on flickr and articles on Wikipedia. He focuses on tagging systems, recommender systems, and combinations of the two.
