Stein Monteiro
Dr. Stein Monteiro, who is a Senior Research Associate at Ryerson University Canada Excellence Research Chair in Migration and Integration program, will present recent research on how online activism by diaspora groups living outside their home country can influence political activity in the home country through social media. Stein looks at the case of the #FarmersProtest movement in India, and the influence that the diaspora in Canada, US, UK, Australia and Gulf countries had on the overall Twitter conversation.
Bruno Abrahao
Professor Bruno Abrahao from NYU Shanghai will showcase his research, A Social Media Study on the Effects of Psychiatric Medication Use, which is an exemplary case for our academic community to learn how they may collect and extract information from web services through APIs, and inspire the audience to explore the breadth of projects they can initiate or contribute to with developer tools as such.
Suhem Parack
Twitter’s Senior Developer Advocate Suhem Parack will show us how to leverage social media data for our next project with the Twitter API. Feel free to bring your questions about accessing and using the Twitter API.
Nashin Mahtani
Forbes Asia 30 Under 30 Nashin Mahtani will showcase the life-saving platform PetaBencana.id, where she helped leverage data via Twitter API and co-led the platform expansion from a real-time flood mapping system serving 50 million people in Indonesia to a multi-hazard mapping platform serving over 350 million people in South East Asia. With a background in architecture, Nashin’s applied and research investigations center around water polities and infrastructures, communication and media philosophies, and epigenetic adaptations.
