Echo Chamber and Polarization in Social Media: An Agent-Based Modeling Approach

Muhammad Al Atiqi is a computational social scientist who studied at the Tokyo Institute of Technology. His interest lies in the intersection of technology and society, particularly the influence of internet-related phenomena to human behavior. During his graduate study, he researched on the formation of echo chamber and political polarization in social media and identifying important factors to determine policies to minimize their negative influences. Prior to his research career, he taught university-level physics at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore. Aside from his main work, he is also involved in community organizing projects such as various Indonesian communities overseas and an environmental project to provide clean water in rural Bali.

Muhammad Al Atiqi是一位計算社會科學家，曾就讀於東京工業大學。他的興趣在於科技與社會的交集，特別關注互聯網相關現象對人類行為的影響。在研究生期間，他研究了社交媒體中回音室的形成和政治極化，並確定了減少其負面影響的重要因素，以制定相應政策。在從事研究之前，他在新加坡南洋理工大學教授大學物理課程。除了主要工作外，他還參與社區組織項目，如各種海外印尼社區和在巴厘島鄉村提供清潔水的環境項目。
