I am a longtime Wikipedia contributor (as [[:w:User:HaeB|User:HaeB]]) and editor of the [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Newsletter Wikimedia Research Newsletter], a monthly publication surveying and reviewing recent academic research about Wikipedia and other Wikimedia projects, which I co-founded in 2011 with my then-colleague Dario Taraborelli at the Wikimedia Foundation. I am also one of the two maintainers of the associated [https://twitter.com/wikiresearch @WikiResearch] Twitter feed. For the past several years, I have joined Mako, Aaron and others in presenting an annual [https://wikimania2018.wikimedia.org/wiki/Program/State_of_Wikimedia_Research_2017-2018 "State of Wikimedia Research"] overview at the Wikimania community conference, where I have also presented on other data and research topics such as the question  [https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/e1/Which_parts_of_a_%28Wikipedia%29_article_are_actually_being_read_%28Wikimania_2018%29.pdf which parts of a Wikipedia article people actually read]. 

My work as a data analyst on the Wikimedia Foundation's [https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Product_Analytics&oldid=3173327 Product Analytics team] included controlled experiments and exploratory data analysis to support the development of new software features for Wikipedia readers and contributors, and the analysis of core readership metrics like pageviews. With the Foundation's web team, I drove the implementation of a new metric designed to better understand reader engagement, based on an instrumentation of time spent on page (dwell time). This became the subject of a [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Reading_time research project] with Nate TeBlunthuis and my then-colleague Olga Vasileva, with findings e.g. about differences in reading behavior between users in the Global South and the Global North.

My academic background is in pure mathematics, with degrees from the University of Cambridge and the University of Bonn. I am based in San Francisco and can be reached via Gmail ("HaeBwiki") and as "HaeB" on IRC (Freenode).
