Aaron R. Kaufman

I am an Associate Professor of Political Science at New York University Abu Dhabi. I am Associate Program Head (DGS) for the Masters in Interdisciplinary Data Science and AI (MIDSAI), and Co-PI for the Center for Interdisciplinary Data Science and AI (CIDSAI). I also hold affiliations with the Department of Politics and the Center for Data Science at New York University, the Center for Social Media and Politics (CSMaP), and the Institute for Quantitative Social Science (IQSS) at Harvard University.

My research interests leverage cutting-edge methods in computer science and causal inference to solve measurement problems in political science. I am also a scuba diver, naturalist, puzzle hunter, and installation artist.
