Research Expertise
Description
In my research I focus on applying state-of-the-art computational methods to the study of political phenomena. In particular, on the substantive side I am interested in online and offline political communication and how these different channels are used by interest groups to affect policy. My methodological research interests include machine learning, Bayesian modelling, text analysis, record linkage and data visualisation.Recognition
