Dr. Siyana Gurova

Siyana is a political scientist with extensive expertise applying quantitative methods to model voting behavior. At rezonanz, she brings a scientific approach to analyzing proxy voting patterns and measuring engagement, helping to shape innovative stewardship solutions.

Siyana adapted her political science PhD work to the proxy voting context to develop our first-of-its-kind approach to benchmarking proxy voting records.

After publishing her PhD in the #1 journal for international relations worldwide, Siyana has continued to produce an impressive range of applied and academic work. In September 2024, she co-published a paper in another top journal in which she and co-authors applied semi-supervised computational text analysis based on word embeddings to over 300,000 articles from The Economist between 1843 and 2020 to capture the territoriality−functionality continuum in global discourse.
