I am Pablo M. Flores, a computational social scientist with a Ph.D. in Communication from the University of California, Davis. My research explores information dynamics, collective emotions, and the interactions between humans and technology. At UC Davis’ Computational Communication Research Lab (C²Lab), I honed my skills in applying computational and quantitative methods to social sciences questions.
My academic journey began at the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile (PUC), where I earned a BS in Industrial Engineering with an emphasis in Mathematics. This engineering background has proven invaluable in my research. Prior to my graduate studies, I led a multidisciplinary team at PUC to develop communication software for a Conicyt-Chile funded project. This experience led to roles as an Instructor and later an Adjunct Assistant Professor in the School of Communication at PUC.
Throughout my career, I have applied my unique combination of engineering expertise and social science insight to address research questions at the intersection of technology and society.
