Personal Website for Tom Hayden
Last Blog Post - Computational Social SciencesFor my social networks class, I had to post a response to some in-class readings and talk generally about the research that I would like to be doing. It ended up as a pretty concise summary of my thoughts on what I want to do, so I'm going to post it here for the world. As a Computer Science student, my research is primarily centered on applying methods and tools of computer science to problems in the social sciences; particularly economics and information.

Hello, this is the personal website for me, Tom Hayden. Technically, I'm Tom Hayden III, hence the domain name. On the right is a picture of me after I won the Stanley Cup (haha! Just kidding). About me? I do a lot of things but currently, I am a first year doctoral student at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois. I have a Masters of Science in Information from the University of Michigan: School of Information. At SI, I specialized in Incentive-Centered Design (ICD). I describe ICD as the intersection of economic theory, statistical decision making theory and information technology. (I originally was a dual-specialization but had to switch back to just ICD due to scheduling reasons - boo!) Before Michigan, I got a bachelors from the Telecommunications, Information Studies and Media (TISM) program at Michigan State (Go Green!). Before that, I grew up in Troy, Michigan and graduated in 2001 from Troy High School. In my spare time, I like to play music, disc golf, jog, read dino comics, hack, eat, watch baseball, read, play some SimCity 4, and manage my fantasy football team.

Stalking MeIf I judged my popularity on the amount of spam I received, I'd be the most popular person in town. Therefore, it must be pretty easy to find me on the Internet. I give up on having any kind of Internet privacy. Here's some help:LibraryThing Spam Me |

It's about fantasy football and statistics. I try to do a lot of interesting prediction algorithms and stuff on the numbers.
