ABOUT ME
Hi I'm Lauren Leek. I'm a political scientist and data scientist specialising in text-as-data, surveys and central banking. My research combines quantitative social science with applied text-as-data to understand how institutions communicate - and how people respond.
Currently finalising my PhD at the European University Institute ()
Divided project in computational social science
Methods team at Verian UK
Alongside academic research, I work on, applied causal inference, and figuring out the survey industry.
When I'm not working, you will probably find me cycling, running or hunting down good food.
MY VISION
I am passionate about bridging the gap between rigorous academic research and real-world impact.
Pushing the boundaries of social data science methodology while maintaining the highest standards of scholarly rigor.
Translating complex research into actionable insights that shape policy and drive meaningful change.
Through continuous learning and innovation, I strive to make data science more accessible, transparent, and impactful for society.
