Nicola Dell, assistant professor at the Jacobs Technion-Cornell Institute at Cornell Tech, recently won two Best Paper awards at the ACM CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems in Montreal. Dell’s papers “A Stalker’s Paradise”: How Intimate Partner Abusers Exploit Technology” (co-authored by Professor of Computer Science Thomas Ristenpart) and “You Can Always Do Better!” The Impact of Social Proof on Participant Response Bias” cover research into the effect of technology on intimate partner violence and the use of social proof to prevent participant response bias in research studies.

Three other Cornell Tech faculty members and one PhD student also presented papers at the conference.
