Eytan Adar

Projects
As of Fall 2009 I am an Assistant Professor of Information and Computer Science at the University of Michigan. I just got here from the University of Washington. I work on temporal-informatics which is the 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 was previously a researcher at HP Labs' Information Dynamics Group and at Xerox PARC. (complete CV). I can be reached at eytanadar-at-yahoo-dot-com.
