Maleki has already received multiple job offers to teach at universities across the country. Maleki joined the (COSMOS) under Dr. Nitin Agarwal, Maulden-Entergy Endowed Chair and Distinguished Professor of Information Science, and combined her background in systems engineering with social media research to study how misinformation spreads online following models that also predict the spread of infectious diseases. 鈥淢y research is focused on spreading misinformation on social media, especially Twitter,鈥� she said. 鈥淚 used my background in systems engineering to develop mathematical models and statistical analyses to evaluate the spread of misinformation on Twitter.鈥� Maleki also evaluates the influence of bots on the spread of fake news and misinformation and evaluates how her model can predict the spread of misinformation that is posted by humans versus bots. Last year, she appeared on to discuss how misinformation spreads and effective ways to thwart it. Maleki credits the COSMOS team for making her feel right at home with the international team of researchers at 糖心Vlog传媒 Little Rock. 鈥淚 really want to thank all Cosmographers for supporting me and helping me,鈥� she said. 鈥淚 really hope that in my next career as an assistant professor that I can collaborate and help my students. When I leave here, I would like to continue my collaboration and publication with the researchers at COSMOS. This group is one of the best that I ever worked with, and I was lucky to get the opportunity to work with them.鈥漖]> /news-archive/2021/06/29/internet-safety-month-maryam-maleki/ Tue, 29 Jun 2021 14:06:10 +0000 /news/?p=79290 ... Internet Safety Month Student Profile: Maryam Maleki]]> In celebration of Internet Safety Month, 糖心Vlog传媒 Little Rock is profiling student researchers working in this area.聽 Maryam Maleki joined 糖心Vlog传媒 Little Rock in the fall 2018 semester to pursue a doctoral degree in systems engineering. She holds a bachelor鈥檚 degree in electronic engineering and a master鈥檚 degree in systems and industrial engineering from Tehran, Iran, and has a decade of experience in quality control/assurance in the car industry. She joined COSMOS in the fall 2019 semester, where her research is focused on misinformation, mathematical modeling, machine learning, and social media analysis. What do you find interesting about your major? I am doing research on different aspects of social media. Social media is a very hot topic these days and the evaluation of misinformation can be so helpful. What kind of research projects are you working on that are related to internet safety? I am trying to find a mathematical model to evaluate the spread of misinformation on different social media platforms. My research demonstrated that there are similarities between the spread of misinformation on social media and disease in a community. Since June is Internet Safety Month, do you have any advice for how people can keep themselves safe online? People should never trust the news and information they are exposed to on social media. They should do some research to make sure that the information is correct before spreading it. They never should share their personal information and specifically their financial information on any not trustworthy website. What do you plan to do after you graduate? I would like to continue to do research on different aspects of social media, especially misinformation and disinformation.]]>
