Mateo Servent

Hello! I am a Predoctoral Fellow at the World Bank. Previously, I was a Predoctoral Fellow at Johns Hopkins University and the United Programs for Political Economy Research network supervised by Prof. Filipe Campante.

I have also been an Associate Researcher at the UNDP Accelerator Lab, a Research Assistant at El COLMEX, and a visiting student at the Otto Suhr Institute for Political Science at Freie Universität Berlin (2022) and the Department of Economics at Universidad de San Andrés (2023). I hold an MSc in Political Science from CIDE and earned my BA from UNC in Argentina. My master’s and bachelor’s theses were supervised by Prof. Ernesto Calvo, Director of the Interdisciplinary Laboratory of Computational Social Science.

My research interests include computational social science, comparative political behavior, and the political economy of technological change. I am broadly focused on how media, platforms, and technology transform politics.

I am currently applying to PhD programs for Fall 2026.
