Subject
Raphael H. Heiberger is Full Professor at University of Stuttgart's Institute for Social Sciences. He is head of the Computational Social Science lab. He received his PhD from the University of Bamberg and was a Fulbright-Fellow at UC Berkeley and Alexander-von-Humboldt Fellow at Stanford University. He utilizes methods from natural language processing, social network analysis, and machine learning to answer questions on scientific careers, political discourse, or technological innovations. His research is funded by several national and international agencies and appeared in, among others, American Sociological Review, Political Analysis, European Sociological Review, Social Networks, and Physica A.
Raphael H. Heiberger studied sociology at the University of Bamberg. During his studies he already specialized in methods and econometrics. Afterwards he did his doctorate in Bamberg on "Social Construction of Prices" (Summa cum Laude), supervised by Prof. Gerhard Schulze and Prof. Richard Münch. Several stays abroad (among others as a researcher at UCLA, a Fulbright Scholarship at UC Berkeley, active member of the McFarland Lab at Stanford University) and a productive postdoc phase at the University of Bremen under Prof. Betina Hollstein led to his appointment at the University of Stuttgart. Since September 2019 he has been a tenure-track professor for "Computational Social Science" (CSS) and is also head of Department VII at the Institute of Social Science.
