Aleksandra Conevska

I am a PhD candidate in the Department of Government at Harvard University. I study elections, institutions, and interest group and party behavior, particularly in the context of climate change. In my more applied work, I use computational and experimental methods to understand voter behavior and strategic campaign messaging, and to establish policy evidence relevant to the energy transition. I am also part of a group of researchers committed to digitizing Cast Vote Record data in the United States, unlocking new research frontiers applicable to big questions in academia as well as real world campaign strategy.

I am currently a Graduate Fellow at the Institute for Quantitative Social Science (IQSS), the Center for American Political Studies (CAPS), and the Harvard STAR Lab, and a Harvard Salata Institute Fellow.

Prior to Harvard, I was a Fulbright Scholar at Johns Hopkins University after earning a Bachelor of Arts and Science from McGill University with Joint Honours in Environmental Science and Political Science. I have also worked as a consultant for the World Bank Group, London Economics International, and Siemens. My research has been published in the American Political Science Review, Nature Scientific Data, International Studies Quarterly, and Energy Research & Social Science.
