Hi, I'm Sina! I will be starting a Ph.D. in Political Science and Statistics at MIT this fall.
I am interested in studying how computational techniques can be applied to study elections and political communication. I'm also interested in building new datasets and making existing ones more usable. For more details on my past work, see Research.
Over the past few years, I:
- Studied elections and built datasets at the MIT Elections Lab
- Worked for the former UN High Commissioner for Human Rights
- Reported on elections for NBC and made graphics for the 13th sexiest man alive
- Interned at the Brookings Institution
- Graduated Summa Cum Laude from Penn with a BSE in CS
- Won my section in a chess tournament
- Read and ate as much as possible
I do my best work with others and am always looking for new collaborators. You can reach me at sinas100@mit.edu.
