Senior🎓
Top SchoolMireia Roura is a postdoctoral research scientist with 11 years of experience blending quantitative methods, computational tools, and sociological theory to study online communication, race and ethnicity, and causal inference from observational data. She designed and ran an original multi-country survey and experiment, bringing end-to-end expertise in survey design, NLP, online experiments, and statistical analysis. A former journalist and fact-checker, she applies narrative sensitivity to data-driven research, probing how media and discourse shape social outcomes. Currently affiliated with Columbia and Rutgers Schools of Public Health, she routinely translates complex causal questions into robust empirical designs. Her background bridges teaching, industry research internships at Snap, and interdisciplinary training across Columbia, NYU, and Pompeu Fabra, enabling pragmatic solutions that are both methodologically rigorous and policy-relevant.
