My name is Arash Pourebrahimi. I am doing my PhD research at the Institute of Security and Global Affairs (ISGA), Faculty of Governance and Global Affairs (FGGA). I apply quantitative research methods and game theory to examine legislative decision-making in the European Union (EU). My research focuses on the dynamics of collective decision-making between and within European institutions such as the Council of the EU, the European Commission and the European Parliament. Moreover, I study member states’ voting behavior in the Council of the EU. My PhD project is supervised by Prof. Madeleine Hosli and Dr. Jaroslaw Kantorowicz.
I was a visiting fellow at Harvard University’s Department of Government, where Prof. Peter Hall was my supervisor. I have also been involved in different research projects at institutions such as the Institute for Quantitative Social Science at Harvard University (led by Prof. Gary King), the Princeton University Iran Data Portal, the University of California, Los Angeles, and Syracuse University. I presented my papers at different conferences such as annual meetings of the Midwest Political Science Association (MPSA) and the Public Choice Society.
In terms of prior academic education, I holds a M.Sc. in Economics from the University of Tehran (Kish International Campus) and a MPhil in Economics from the City University of New York where I continue investigating developments in the sovereign bonds market. I have taught undergraduate courses including Introduction to Statistics, and Introduction to Econometrics, Introduction to Macroeconomics, and Introduction to Microeconomics at the City University of New York (Queens College, Brooklyn College, and the College of Staten Island). In addition, I supervised bachelor theses at Erasmus University Rotterdam, Management of International Social Challenges program. I have also been a Tutor for the for MSc International Relations and Diplomacy (MIRD) program, teaching quantitative research methods.
