Research Interest
Having studied computer and political science, my primary interest is in the impact of the internet and emerging technologies on politics. More specifically, I am interested in political disinformation and computational propaganda (e.g. Twitter bots), the expression of political ideology on social media, and the influence of social media on political mobilization and social movements.
