KOLINA KOLTAI
I am a PhD candidate at the University of Texas at Austin pursuing a degree in Information Studies. My current research is on how sociotechnical systems influence the decision making of social groups. I study this phenomenon in the context of the vaccine debate on social networks and digital communities. My other research focuses have covered a wide array of topics including, but not limited to, trust in automated systems, implicit stereotyping and bias, decision making in scientific controversies, and adolescent and young adult oncology survivorship.
