Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Mustafa Alassad's research focuses on the application of computational social science techniques to understand and mitigate the spread of malicious information and coordinated cyber threats. His work investigates the characterization of suspicious commenter behaviors on platforms like YouTube, aiming to identify patterns and structures within social networks that facilitate the dissemination of harmful content.

Alassad has developed methods for contextualizing focal structures in multisource social networks, leveraging knowledge graphs to analyze complex interactions. He also explores agent-based modeling to minimize the spread of malicious information in dynamic network environments. His scholarship includes work on identifying key sets of commenters involved in spreading conspiracy theories. He has a record of 32 publications, with 179 citations, and an h-index of 8. Alassad collaborates with several faculty members at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, including Nitin Agarwal, Stella Mbila-Uma, Ifeanyichukwu Umoga, and Abiola Akinnubi.
