Dr. Henry Kudzanai Dambanemuya is an Assistant Instructional Professor in the Masters in Computational Social Science (MACSS) program. His teaching includes core computational and research methods courses in the first and third perspectives sequences, as well as elective courses on collective intelligence and large-scale online experiments. He brings an interdisciplinary background in computer science, communication, and global affairs to examine collective intelligence problems in complex systems.

In his research, he conducts theory-driven investigations that rely on mining Big Data about human interactions and behavior, online experiments and surveys, crowdsourcing, natural language processing, and machine learning and statistical modeling frameworks. Supported by this novel combination of approaches, his research advances theories of collective intelligence and complex systems and makes methodological contributions toward computational social science, network science, social computing, and human-computer interaction.

Dr. Dambanemuya also brings relevant software engineering and data science knowledge from his experiences at RICS Software, Liberty Mutual Insurance, Chewy, Dataminr, and Microsoft Corporation. He continues to be active in the teaching and research communities and is committed to supporting graduate students in their academic and industry careers.
