Gabriella M. Harari

Gabriella M. Harari is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Communication at Stanford University, where she directs the Media and Personality Lab. Her research explores how personality and well-being manifest in physical and digital environments, leveraging mobile sensing and computational methods to analyze behavioral patterns.

• Education: PhD in Psychology (2016) and BA in Psychology & Humanities (2011) from The University of Texas at Austin and Florida International University, respectively.
• Methodologies: Intensive longitudinal field studies, experience sampling, mobile sensing, data mining, and machine learning.
• Awards: Supported by the National Science Foundation and Stanford HAI Seed Grant Awards.

Her work bridges social and computer sciences, focusing on associations between digital behavior (e.g., social media use, mobility patterns) and individual differences in personality. She is part of Stanford's Life Sensing Consortium, advancing ecological research in real-world contexts.
