About Me

Hello, and welcome to my site! My name is Alec Tripp, and I am a Research Manager with the Scientific Research Group (SRG) at YouGov. I hold my PhD in Political Science from Vanderbilt University, with concentrations in Comparative Politics and Methodology, and I am a behavioral researcher with text analysis and AI expertise.

My dissertation explored how and why individuals’ views on immigration shift in response to immigration shocks, focusing on governmental, media, and mass public responses. My other publications investigate 1) host country attitudes toward immigrants and refugees, immigrant and refugee attitudes toward integration and remigration, and large language model (LLM) research in social science contexts.

I was formerly an affiliate of Vanderbilt’s CSDI, ROCCA, and RIPS labs, as well as the Center for Global Democracy. In 2020, I graduated with a B.A. in Political Science from the University of Tennessee at Knoxville.
