Eytan Adar

Projects
I am a doctoral student (aiming for graduating spring of '09) at the University of Washington. I can be reached at eytanadar-at-yahoo-dot-com. I work on temporal-informatics which is study of the change of information—and our consumption of it—over time. This is primarily at Internet scales and it gives me an excuse to work on lots of different things I like... text and log mining, visualizations, social network analysis, etc.

I am funded by an NSF Fellowship, an ARCS Fellowship, and am a PI on an Accelerating Search Award from Microsoft. I was previously a researcher at HP Labs' Information Dynamics Group and at Xerox PARC.
