Computational social scientist
Milena Tsvetkova
Milena is Associate Professor at the Department of Methodology at the London School of Economics and Political Science. She uses large-scale online experiments, network analysis, machine learning, and computational modeling to study competition, cooperation, contagion, communication, and collective decision making in human and human-machine networks.
Human-machine social systems
Intelligent machines such as AI agents, robots, bots, and algorithms are social actors whose behavior and interactions are changing the social world. Milena’s research investigates unintended interactions between bots, bot influence and social media users, and humans’ trust and deception towards AI.
Human groups and networks
Individual behavior such as reciprocity, susceptibility to social influence, inequity aversion, reliance on reputational information, and status assertion sometimes leads to unexpected collective outcomes. Milena investigates how such behavior relates to segregation, inequality, and cooperation.
