Dr. Christoph Biehl
Siyana adapted her political science PhD work to the proxy voting context to develop our first-of-its-kind approach to benchmarking proxy voting records.
After publishing her PhD in the #1 journal for international relations worldwide, Siyana has continued to produce an impressive range of applied and academic work. In September 2024, she co-published a paper in another top journal in which she and co-authors applied semi-supervised computational text analysis based on word embeddings to over 300,000 articles from The Economist between 1843 and 2020 to capture the territoriality−functionality continuum in global discourse.
