John Barry Ryan

My research focuses on the subfield of political communication using three primary quantitative methodologies: surveys, experiments (both psychological and behavioral economic), and content coding of text. My research has looked at the content of campaign websites, scholar’s social media accounts, newspaper coverage of elections as well as networked participants involving mock elections in a lab.My ...

Christian Sandvig

I am a researcher specializing in discovering the consequences of computer systems that curate and organize culture. A major theme of my research investigates accountability mechanisms for machine learning and artificial intelligence. My research group coined the phrase “algorithmic auditing” in a 2014 paper; this was subsequently made suggested reading for submissions to the first ...

Sabina Tomkins

My research utilizes computational social science and artificial intelligence to derive contextually informed algorithmic frameworks for understanding individuals and the social systems which influence their behavior, and for supporting positive behavior change within these systems. In particular, I analyze policy and behavior, and apply interactive behavior support and predictive algorithms, within the areas of higher ...

Ken Kollman

I have been involved in the building of data infrastructure in the study of elections, political systems, violence, geospatial units, demographics, and topography. This infrastructure will eventually lead to the integration of data across many domains in the social, health, population, and behavioral sciences. My core research interests are in elections and political organizations. Accomplishments ...

Yuri Zhukov

My research focuses on the causes, dynamics and outcomes of conflict, at the international and local levels. My methodological areas of interest include spatial statistics, mathematical/computational modeling and text analysis. Map/time-series/network plot, showing the flow of information across battles in World War II. Z axis is time, X and Y axes are longitude and latitude, ...

Barbara Koremenos

Every year, states negotiate, conclude, sign, and give effect to hundreds of new international agreements. Koremenos argues that the detailed design provisions of such agreements matter for phenomena that scholars, policymakers, and the public care about: When and how international cooperation occurs and is maintained. Theoretically, Koremenos develops hypotheses regarding how cooperation problems like incentives ...

Christopher Fariss

My core research focuses on the politics and measurement of human rights, discrimination, violence, and repression. I use computational methods to understand why governments around the world torture, maim, and kill individuals within their jurisdiction and the processes monitors use to observe and document these abuses. Other projects cover a broad array of themes but ...
