Summary

Senior🎓
Top SchoolDiliara Valeeva is an Assistant Professor of Political Science at the University of Amsterdam who blends computational methods with political economy to map how corporations, shareholders, and tech elites accumulate and exercise power. With a PhD from UvA and a postdoc at KU Leuven, she has analyzed networks spanning hundreds of millions of firms and tens of thousands of listed companies to reveal the hidden architectures of shareholder capitalism. Her current research traces how major tech firms and elites are reshaping the commercialization of outer space—turning a geopolitical contest into an economic one across surveillance, communications, mining, and travel. She leads data-science programs at UvA, teaches computational social science, and advises scholars on applied methods, routinely moving between Python, R, SQL, network analysis, and large-scale text mining. Beyond academia, she communicates findings to broader audiences on elites, conspiracy narratives, and the super-rich, bringing empirical rigor to public debates. An unexpected strength is her ability to combine archival sleuthing from earlier historical projects with modern big-data techniques to uncover longitudinal patterns of elite influence.
