Daniel J. Gibbs
Assistant Professor
MSW/JD Dual-Degree Program Coordinator
Daniel Gibbs conducts research on how human services systems can effectively serve youth with complex needs, with an emphasis on the growing role of artificial intelligence (AI) and the intersection of social work and the law.
His current projects employ quantitative, mixed, and system dynamics methods to explore:
- the integration of AI and other technologies in child- and family-serving systems;
- the linkage of large administrative data sources to understand transition-age foster youth outcomes; and
- the ways that communities can strengthen youth mental health crisis response systems.
Before arriving at UGA, Daniel practiced as an attorney representing the interests of children involved in the child welfare system. His teaching focuses on evidence-based practice, research methods, AI integration in social work practice, and policy analysis.
