Felipe Lamarca
Computational Political Scientist
I'm a data scientist with a degree from the School of Applied Mathematics (FGV EMAp) and a social scientist with a degree from the School of Social Sciences (FGV CPDOC). Currently, I'm pursuing a Master's degree in Political Science at the Institute of Social and Political Studies (IESP-UERJ).
I work as a data scientist at AtlasIntel and do research at three laboratories: the Policy and Election Monitoring and Evaluation Laboratory (MAPE), the Laboratory of Electoral Studies, Political Communication and Public Opinion (DOXA), and the Center for Studies on Congress (NECON).
My research interests include political behavior, public policy, and the application of data science techniques to social science research. This broadly encompasses the use of machine learning, deep learning, causal inference, and survey methods to investigate political phenomena.
