Adam Breuer is Harvard's first and only double PhD in Computer Science and Political Science. He currently holds dual assistant professorships in the Departments of Computer Science and Government at Dartmouth, where is a member of the Core Leadership of Dartmouth's Cybersecurity Research Cluster. His computer science research designs new AI algorithms for machine learning applications such as LLM's, large-scale image and text analysis, social network analysis, and data summarization. His political science research focuses on how algorithms and AI are reshaping political behaviors, and how AI can power novel research into democratic processes. His recent work has been published in top AI/ML venues such as ICML, NeurIPS, and KDD. Adam is also currently an OpenAI Cybersecurity PI. Previously, he was an academic collaborator with Facebook Research, where he built machine learning algorithms to help detect billions of fake social media accounts.

Adam’s research is driven by the following questions: How can we leverage AI to learn about fundamental political and societal problems? How are these new technologies changing democratic politics? And how can we design more powerful and more secure AI algorithms with these problems in mind?

Adam's research has been funded by OpenAI, Facebook/Meta, and the US National Science Foundation. He is an affiliate of Harvard's Weatherhead Center for International Affairs, Harvard's Institute for Quantitative Social Science (IQSS), and Dartmouth's Institute for Security Technology Studies (ISTS).
