ISPS EXPERIMENTS WORKSHOP

Andrew M. Guess is a Postdoctoral Fellow in Data Science at the Social Media and Political Participation (SMaPP) Lab, New York University. Andy received his Ph.D. in political science from Columbia University in 2015. His research sits at the intersection of political communication, public opinion, and political behavior. Andy uses a combination of experimental methods, large datasets, machine learning, and innovative measurement to study how people choose, process, spread, and respond to information about politics.

Current or recent projects investigate online selective exposure, how to accurately measure media exposure on the internet, the dynamics of interest group mobilization over Twitter, and the persuasive effect of new information on individuals’ attitudes and beliefs.
