I'm Andrea De Angelis, currently an SNF Ambizione Researcher in the Department of Political Science at the University of Zurich. Welcome to my GitHub profile!

• 🔭 I’m currently working on: The project “Political Misinformation in the Digital Age,” funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation. My research focuses on political misinformation, media change, dealignment, and the personalization of politics in European democracies.

• 🌱 I’m currently learning: How to use LLMs for my teaching and research (ideas are welcome!).

• 👯 I’m looking to collaborate on: Projects at the intersection of political science, computational methods, and digital media. I am especially interested in collaborations that explore the dynamics of political misinformation and media effects on electoral decisions.

• 🤔 I’m looking for help with: Expanding my research in the area of political misinformation in a global context, especially studies outside the U.S. and Switzerland/Europe.

• 💬 Ask me about: Electoral politics, media effects, political misinformation, and computational methods in social science research.
