Yiftach Nagar explores collective forms of intelligence in sociotechnical settings – from small face-to-face groups, to collectives of humans and computer-agents working together.

I’m a doctoral researcher at the MIT Center for Collective Intelligence (CCI) and a PhD candidate at the MIT Sloan School of Management. I’m advised by Prof. Tom Malone.
