I’m Almog 🔊, an Assistant Professor at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev. I do social psychology in domains of language, emotion, political psych, and other subfields I find interesting.
I am directing the Computational Social Psychology (CSP) lab at BGU. Potential students are encouraged to reach out.
Among others, I have soft spots for cognitive work, linguistics and R. I like working with data, scrubbing it, twisting it, generating models and making predictions. I dislike beetroot, very much so.
