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 am also affiliated with the Hertie School’s Centre for International Security in Berlin.

My research at the intersection of international relations, political communication, and computational social science focuses on the geopolitics of emerging technologies and dynamics of political control. This work is informed by previous international experience, which includes work at nonprofits and a Fulbright English Teaching Assistantship.

Beyond my research, I enjoy teaching myself and others how to code and analyse data. I have taught various data science workshops and am developing resources on integrating AI coding agents into research workflows. If anything in my teaching portfolio aligns with your organization’s needs, please reach out!

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