Summary
Andreu Casas is an associate professor and computational political scientist specializing in political communication, public policy, and legislative behavior, currently based at Royal Holloway and affiliated with NYU’s Center for Social Media and Politics. With a PhD from the University of Washington and over a decade of academic experience across VU Amsterdam and NYU, he combines substantive work on how social media shapes collective action, polarization, and platform regulation with novel text- and image-as-data methods. He investigates both high-profile agenda-setting and the quieter mechanisms of influence inside legislatures, such as amendments and bill bundling. As director of the London Social Media Observatory, he applies rigorous computational tools to real-world policy questions, bridging theory, methods, and the practice of digital-era policymaking.
