PANDAS Lab
The Politics, AI, and Data Science Lab (PANDAS) is a research lab that applies machine learning and statistical techniques to the study of politics, especially in areas of conflict, propaganda, misinformation, and cybersecurity. PANDAS is neither sponsored by nor affiliated with a university. We work with students from multiple universities. Learn how to join our team.
