Dominic DiFranzo is an assistant professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at Lehigh University DiFranzo’s research in human computer interaction translates established social science theories into design interventions that encourage social media users to stand up to cyberbullies, fact-check fake news stories, and engage in other prosocial actions. He has developed new experimental tools and methods that create ecologically valid social media simulations, giving researchers control of both the technical interface and social situations found on social media platforms.
