Jean-Philippe Cointet
I design original methods of modeling digital traces to map public space and its dynamics.
Researcher
Professor of Sociology and director of the Open Institute for Digital Transformations in Sciences Po, Jean-Philippe specializes in the development of innovative methods for the social sciences and humanities. His main fields of interest are computational linguistics and network science. He has long worked on the mapping of research communities through the analysis of bibliometric data, and later on the dynamics of scientific knowledge circulation and its contestation in social media platforms. More recently, he has been analyzing the structure of the digital public space through various empirical case studies on misinformation, polarization or collective mobilization.
