Andreas Küpfer
Welcome! I’m a Ph.D. candidate at the Institute for Political Science of the Technical University of Darmstadt, working at the intersection of Data Science and Political Science. Before that, I graduated from the University of Mannheim with a Master degree in Data Science. My research focuses on (multimodal) political communication, combining machine learning models with traditional methods to address substantive questions related to party competition and political behaviour. My work has been published in European Journal of Political Research, Political Analysis, and Political Science Research and Methods, among others. During my Ph.D., I have conducted research visits at the Mannheim Centre for European Social Research (MZES, University of Mannheim) and the Centre for AI in Government (CAIG, University of Birmingham).
I’m happy to connect with you either via Bluesky or by email.
