Stefan D. McCabe

I am an Applied Scientist at Alethea. Before, I was a postdoc at George Washington University's Institute for Data, Democracy & Politics, working with Matthew Hindman and Andrew Ifedapo Thompson. My research focuses on developing methods for accurately measuring and describing online social behaviors. I received my Ph.D. from Northeastern University’s Network Science Institute in 2022, where I was advised by David Lazer. I received my master's degree from George Mason University’s Department of Computational Social Science, where I was advised by Rob Axtell. In Summer 2020, I was a research intern at Microsoft Research, working with David Rothschild.
