My name is Brian Keegan and I am an American social scientist and second-year Ph.D. student in the Media, Technology, Society program at Northwestern University. I am also affiliated with the Center for Technology and Social Behavior, Science of Networks in Communities (SONIC) group, and Laboratory for Understanding Collaborative Technology (Collabolab). I received my bachelors degrees in mechanical engineering and science and technology studies at MIT and an International Baccalaureate diploma from Green Valley High School in Henderson, Nevada.

I use methods in social network analysis, content analysis, and agent based modeling to study the coevolution of norms and deviance in ad-hoc and covert groups like MMORPG gamers and wikipedians. As this is my personal account, I also control the account User:Collabolab for academic research purposes. Weak authenticate

I have been editing Wikipedia since June 2005. 1st edit 1000th 2000th 3000th 4000th 5000th 6000th 7000th 8000th 9000th 10000th

I apparently really like to edit on Tuesdays: [1]

I want to become conversationally fluent in Spanish, Chinese, and Arabic in the future.

My long-time username stems from the fact that I was told I resembled Alfred E. Neuman growing up.
