Our research explores the exciting intersection of politics, society, and AI systems blending methodological innovation with substantive questions. Here’s a look at what our team is working on:

Methodological Projects

• Causal Inference: Our research leverages advanced techniques to identify cause-and-effect relationships in complex datasets—like satellite imagery or social media activity—offering insights into policy and beyond.
• Computational Infrastructure: We develop tools and software to simplify analyzing massive datasets, perfect for anyone keen on coding or data science.
• Computational Text Analysis: Our work harnesses technology to uncover trends in political discourse and public opinion by analyzing vast text collections.

Substantive Projects

• Comparative Politics: Our research investigates how political systems vary globally and what that reveals about democracy and governance.
• Political Economy: We study how politics and economics intertwine, such as the impact of transportation policies on elections.
• Social Movements: Our team examines how groups drive change, from sports fandom in Egypt to grassroots movements worldwide.
