Michael Colaresi serves as an Affiliated Visiting Researcher at Uppsala University's Department of Peace and Conflict Research, located at Gamla Torget 3 in Uppsala, Sweden. His work focuses on quantitative approaches to conflict prediction and political violence analysis.
His research interests center on conflict escalation modeling, political violence forecasting, and early warning systems development, with significant contributions to the ViEWS (Violent Events in World Society) project. His methodological approach integrates computational social science, machine learning, and traditional political science frameworks to improve predictive accuracy in conflict scenarios.
Analysis of his recent publications reveals a concentrated research trajectory in developing and evaluating conflict prediction models, particularly through large-scale collaborative competitions that test forecasting methodologies across diverse geopolitical contexts. His work demonstrates strong interdisciplinary connections between political science, data science, and security studies.
While no specific advising activities or grant information is documented in the source material, his collaborative publications with researchers like Håvard Hegre and Paola Vesco indicate active participation in major international conflict research initiatives.
