Daniel Cosley, Ph.D. Visiting Assistant Professor 301 College Ave. 607.255.5530 drc44@cornell.edu |
Dr. Daniel Cosley currently focuses on designing systems that encourage members to contribute more to shared community resources, combining social science theory, HCI design principles, and computational tools to motivate participation. He is also interested in the more general problem of how to apply theories of behavior to the design of systems in a way that helps future designers and theorists use the results.
Dr. Cosley’s prior work focused on recommender systems, especially new ways to use recommendation algorithms, better interfaces for recommender systems, and better methods for evaluating their utility. He also helped teach Google how to play "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?" As a systems builder, he developed the SuggestBot tool for Wikipedia, played an important role in building the successful research recommendation system MovieLens (http://movielens.umn.edu/), and developed the SmartShopper, a successful mobile shopping list application.
