My name is Yen-Chieh (David) Liao. I am an NLP Research Fellow working on Generative AI applications in political science at the Centre for Artificial Intelligence in Government (CAIG), and an Affiliate Fellow at the Institute for Data and AI at the University of Birmingham.
I received my PhD in Politics from Essex (2023), and both my BA and MA in Public Administration and Policy from National Taipei University. My substantial work concentrates on legislative behavior and comparative political institutions, with particular focus on Taiwan and East Asian contexts.
Methodologically, I am especially interested in measuring ideological preferences and political stances using quantitative and computational methods, including the quantitative measurement of legislative voting, surveys, and political texts.
Recently, I have been working with our center (CAIG) and the Institute for Data and AI to implement multi-agent systems with large language models for survey experiments and simulating political deliberation among political elites.

非常歡迎來到我的個人網頁！
我是廖彥傑，出身於太魯閣族秀林部落（花蓮）。我目前在英國伯明罕大學人工智慧與政府研究中心及人工智慧研究所擔任研究人員，專注於生成AI在政治學、公共行政與公共政策領域的應用。
我畢業於國立臺北大學公共行政暨政策學系學士與碩士研究所，於2023年取得英國艾塞克斯大學政治學博士學位。在碩士班期間，我專注於台灣分配政策（肉桶政治）與原住民族群政治研究，特別關注大族與小族間的政治利益分配。目前則致力於人工智慧與自然語言處理技術在政治學分析上的應用，並且在研究方法上專精於測量政治菁英的政治偏好、立場與意識型態行為。
我主要活躍於大英格蘭地區：科爾切斯特（Colchester）、倫敦與伯明罕三地，我每年也會固定參加台灣東吳大學國會研討會及EPSS（ex EPSA）、APSA會議。如果您也會參加這些會議，歡迎隨時約喝杯咖啡或啤酒！
