Research Focus
Georgy's research interests include exploring historical legacies and junctures, political behavior, psychology of public opinion in non-democratic regimes, and comparative development. He particularly focuses on studying the causes and effects of coercion and violence across different times and places, and how they influence people's values and preferences. Methodologically, Georgy is interested in various computational social science approaches, especially the estimation of large-dimensional factorial experiments, sensitivity bias in survey research, and the applications of artificial intelligence to archaeological, archival, and social media data.
