About Me
|
Welcome!
My name is Denis Stukal. I am a Postdoc in Data Science at the Social Media and Political Participation (SMaPP) Lab at New York University. Recently, I finished my PhD in Politics at the Wilf Family Department of Politics at NYU. My research interests lie in Data Science, Computational Social Science, and Political Methodology. Most of my work relates to analyzing large corpora of texts and collections of other social media data to study misinformation and computational propaganda. One of my projects employs different methods of text analysis to uncover strategies that Russian decoy parties use to mimic opposition and deceive voters. In another project (co-authored with Sergey Sanovich, Josh Tucker, and Rich Bonneau) I use supervised machine learning tools to detect bots on Russian political Twitter and reverse-engineer their use to spread political (mis)information online. Yet another project (co-authored with Arturas Rozenas) analyzes how the Russian state-controlled television (mis)informs citizens about the economic performance of the country. I also develop software that facilitates research on the political use of social media. |
