Allison Koh | Computational Political Scientist

Hi! I am a Research Fellow in Natural Language Processing at the University of Birmingham’s Centre for Artificial Intelligence in Government. I recently earned my PhD at the Hertie School’s Centre for International Security in Berlin.

My research interests lie at the intersection of international relations, political communication, and computational social science, with a focus on the geopolitics of information disorder and the role of quasi-state actors in digital repression. My dissertation project investigated how authoritarian governments use social media to exert influence over information ecosystems that extend beyond their borders, which has important implications for transnational repression and platform governance.

I am currently based in London. Feel free to reach out to discuss potential opportunities, areas of mutual interest, or to grab a 🍵 or 🍺 around London or Birmingham.
