Research
Last updated 25/11/2024
I’m lucky enough to do research for a living, previously as a PhD student and now as a Data Scientist. This page lists my publications, with work conducted across the fields of political science, data science, and artificial intelligence. I do my best to keep this page up to date, but for a list that’s more likely (though not guaranteed) to be current I recommend visiting my google scholar profile.
