Haofeng Ma, Ph.D.

I am a political scientist specializing in comparative politics and computational social science. My research focuses on comparative public opinion, political behavior, political linguistics, ethnicity and migration, and political and economic development. Methodologically, I employ Bayesian latent modeling, natural language processing, and spatial analysis to collect and analyze data.

I obtained my Ph.D. in Political Science from the Department of Political Science at The University of Iowa in December 2024.
