Senior Analyst (Quantitative Social Scientist) at Open Minds Institute

About Open Minds Institute

OMI was established by a group of professionals in the field of social and behavioural sciences, media, and AI technologies.

Recognising that various forms of disinformation & propaganda significantly intensify global animosity and conflicts, we decided to merge our knowledge and expertise to combat this issue.

Over the last year, OMI has become one of the central research hubs, advising governmental units on counter-influence strategies and propaganda, particularly in the context of Russia. In 2023 alone, we published 38 reports, mentioned by The NYT, The Guardian, The Times, etc.
