Hi, I'm Matt Groh.

I am an assistant professor at Northwestern University in the Management and Organizations department at the Kellogg School of Management and by courtesy in the Computer Science department at the McCormick School of Engineering .

My research examines the dynamics of human-AI collaboration with a focus on deepfake detection, medical diagnosis, and empathic communication. Bridging methods from social science and machine learning, I build large-scale digital experiments to study questions around when, where, why, and how the combination of human problem solving and AI systems leads to hybrid systems that surpass (or fail to surpass) the performance of either humans or the machine alone.

You can find my CV here, research on Google Scholar and latests thoughts on Twitter.
