Hi visitor. I am a PhD Candidate in sociology at the University of Chicago and a Graduate Research Fellow at KnowledgeLab. On this page you can find my CV, read about my research, and learn a bit about me.

I am very open to collaboration. While my own work is in science and technology studies and computational social science, I am interested in all sorts of substantive topics, including gender, culture, media, and theory. Methodologically, I specialize in data/text mining large datasets (using primarily Python).

Some news:

• I participated in (and highly recommend) Erik and Wendy Schmidt's Data Science for Social Good Fellowship
• I recently won a Metaknowledge Research Network grant to study peer review at PLoS One.

You can contact me at misha _at_ uchicago _dot_ edu.

Some of my code and presentations are on Github: www.github.com/mishateplitskiy.
