DMRC’s Dr Tim Graham has been awarded an ARC Discovery Early Career Research Award for his project Combatting Coordinated Inauthentic Behaviour on Social Media.
Project summary:
Online disinformation is a global problem that threatens national security and is harmful to society. However, current methods are not suited to detect coordinated disinformation operations that conceal their activity by co-opting and cultivating regular users, groups and social movements. This project develops cutting-edge methods and workflows to accurately distinguish genuine activity from coordinated inauthentic behaviour, and to trace and evaluate the adoption of material spread by malicious actors across multiple platforms.
Congratulations Tim!
