Research Students Supervision

If you are interested in doing your PhD with me, please do contact me (v.spaiser@leeds.ac.uk). I am generally willing to supervise PhD students who plan to work in the area of Climate Change (social science perspectives), Mathematical Modeling in Political Science, Computational Political Science, Sustainable Development Goals, ...

Currently, I supervise two PhD students:
  • Susan Ann Samuel, who is doing her PhD on a New International Normative Framework in Response to the Climate Crisis 
  • Daniel Valdenegro, who is doing his PhD on Emotions and Political Collective Action using a data analytics approach
My former PhD student, Nicole Nisbett, has successfully completed her doctoral studies on UK Parliament's online public engagement using data science   (in collaboration with The House of Commons) in February 2021.
