Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolCornelius Erfort is a postdoctoral researcher in computational social science based in Berlin with eight years of experience studying comparative politics, candidates, representatives, and parties. He combines rigorous quantitative methods—statistical modeling, quantitative text analysis, and data visualization—with practical webscraping and data science workflows, primarily in R. At Universität Witten/Herdecke he translates large-scale political text and web data into reproducible insights, building tools that bridge academic research and empirical policy questions. His background spans PhD work at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, a visiting stint at LSE, and international study experiences that sharpen his comparative lens. Colleagues value his knack for turning messy online data into clear visual narratives and robust models that reveal subtle patterns in political representation.
