Dr. Verónica Espinoza

I am Data Scientist at the Social Media Research Foundation located in the United States. I am a member of Access 2 Perspectives, a Germany-based organization that promotes researcher training and research integrity.

I co-founded NetHabitus, a social consulting firm and Spanish-language learning platform focused on digital anthropology, network science, data visualization, artificial intelligence, and more.

I have given lectures at national and international levels on various topics. I have taught at prestigious private institutions, covering subjects such as Statistics, Neuropsychology, Physiology, Memory and Emotions, Chemistry, Data Science, Machine Learning, AI Applications, Network Science, among others.

Dr. Moralí, who is no longer with us, was my reviewer for both my undergraduate and master’s theses. She left me invaluable lessons, both academically and personally.

Dr. Amozurrutia, who supervised my doctoral thesis and guided my work on clinical diagnoses and physician–patient interaction from a complex systems and genetic epistemology perspective.
Dr. Smith, from whom I have learned so much, and whose contributions to network science continue to inspire me to keep learning in this field.
Dr. Levallois, who is deeply passionate about coding, network science, and tool development. I have learned so much from him, and he continually inspires me to create my projects.

Recomendations

Dr. Marc Smith

Director at the Social Media Research Foundation, California, USA [link]

Veronica is a remarkable scholar and educator with a wide sweep of training and methodological skills. I have been privileged to collaborate with Veronica on a series of classes and training events along with creating documentation for a range of social network and content analysis methods.

From the biological sciences to the social sciences, from ethnographic methods to computational social sciences, Veronica is able to weave tools and concepts into powerful research results. Her design skills are an added bonus that ensures that she creates compelling and helpful documentation on a wide range of technical methods and practices.

My interactions and observations of Veronica have always left me impressed with her professionalism and mastery of materials

Dr. Wasim Ahmed

Senior Lecturer (Associate Professor) in Marketing at Hull University Business School England, United Kingdom [link]

I met Verónica through the Social Media Research Foundation, and I have been immensely impressed with Verónica's vast array of talents.

Her knowledge of research methodologies, social network analysis, and data analysis software applications is exemplary. I very much admire Verónica's dedication to her work and her brilliant attention to detail. On top of this, Verónica is the go-to person for creating visual designs, and I have been inspired by Verónica's excellent design skills on several occasions. Moreover, as a collaborator on a research project, Verónica was always willing and ready to help the team. I have no hesitation in recommending Verónica to any organisation or collaborator
