Elías Chavarría-Mora, PhD
Lecturer
I’m a lecturer at the School of Political Science at the University of Costa Rica, and the coordinator of the Observatorio de la Política Internacional Sergio Iván Moya Mena (https://opi.ucr.ac.cr/) for the same University. I have a PhD in political science from the University of Pittsburgh and a certificate in machine learning from IBM. My research focuses on comparative political behavior, and regionally on Latin America. My broader research agenda has focused on protest politics, party competition, and ideology. Methods-wise, I am interested in the use of statistical and data science methods.
