Biography
Hello! My name is Dylan and I am a PhD Student at the University of Vienna in Austria. I am working in the ERC Project “MULTIREP” of Assoz. Prof. Christopher Wratil, PhD.
My research interests encompass political representation and how politicians make representative claims to citizens. I am especially interested in using state-of-the-art NLP and computer vision approaches to measure these claims, combining them with advanced quantitative methods. I am focusing on two subdimensions of representation: personalization and surrogate representation.
