Most of his work has focused on determining theauthorship of a document via stylometry (the study and measurement of writing style). Using thistechnology, Juola has been able to identify J.K. Rowling’s use of a pen name to write The Cuckoo’sCalling, to testify about judicial misconduct in Chevron Corp. v. Donziger, and to help a refugeeremain in the United States in Federal Immigration Court. Some of the software he has helped tocreate is available for use under an open-source license from www.jgaap.com.The key insight that guides Juola’s research is that there are lots of ways to say or write the samemessage, and people are free to choose from among many different ways to express the sameideas. Frequently-made choices become habits, and habits can be picked up by looking at otherthings a person has said or written, so a piece of writing that shows the same habitual choices islikely to be a piece of writing by the same person. At a broader scale, people who share attributesare likely to make similar choices, and so we can detect choices made by specific groups.Juola received his Ph.D. in computer science from the University of Colorado at Boulder (USA) in1995, then worked for three years as a postdoctoral researcher in the department of experimentalpsychology at Oxford University (UK). Since 1998, he has been working at Duquesne University(Pittsburgh, PA, USA) in the mathematics and computer science department, where he currentlyholds the position of Professor of Computer Science.(continued)
