Claudia Flores-Saviaga

Claudia Flores-Saviaga is a Fellow at Facebook Research. She is also a Ph.D. candidate in the HCI Lab at West Virginia University. Her research involves the areas of Artificial Intelligence, Crowdsourcing, and Social Computing. She is interested in understanding how “bad actors” organize misinformation and propaganda messages, and how other citizens organize to debunk those manipulative campaigns. She uses this knowledge to then design intelligent systems that can fight disinformation at scale. Her research has been covered by the Associated Press, Newsweek, and Buzzfeed.

Her research has caught the attention and has initiated collaborations with different think tanks and organizations such as the Wikimedia Foundation, the Atlantic Council, the National Democratic Institute, and the Organization of American States. Claudia has a master’s degree in Information Technology from Carnegie Mellon University (CMU).
