Hello!
I am a second-year Political Science PhD student and a teaching assistant at UC Santa Barbara. My research explores the intersection of climate politics and corporate behavior, with a particular focus on how businesses disclose their climate strategies. I utilize natural language processing (NLP) methods to analyze textual data better to understand corporate communication in the context of climate change. Additionally, I am deeply interested in the political dynamics surrounding technological solutions to climate change, such as carbon capture, and the role of the state in promoting these technologies.
About
I am Denis Lomov, a second-year Ph.D. student in Political Science and Teaching Assistant at UC Santa Barbara. My research interests encompass environmental politics, political economy, comparative politics, climate-related disclosure, and energy transition. I am particularly intrigued by the intersection of politics, climate change, and rules. You can find my cv, publications, and outgoing projects on this website.
My academic journey started with a unique dual-degree program in Political Science at The Moscow School of Social and Economic Sciences and International Politics at Manchester University, UK. I also graduated from a one-year, fully funded non-degree program at West Virginia University facilitated by the U.S. Embassy in Moscow and administered by the esteemed American Councils for International Education. Additionally, I attended a Summer School on International Politics in Oslo. I also worked as a climate risks consultant at KPMG.
Beyond academia, I find joy in exploring new places and reading. I like watching "dinomentaries" (documentaries about dinosaurs), playing and leading an interactive climate-simulator game called "EN-ROADS," reading about productivity, and checking my calendar regularly.
