Dr Panagiotopoulos specialises in digital government and social media research. His previous work has focused on different aspects of digital engagement, networks of practice, social media analytics, crowdsourcing and information flows around regulatory decisions.

In current work, he is interested to explore how new forms of data, data science and data analytics are reshaping public policy and public management. In particular, this relates to the potential of emerging technologies in regulation and the new roles for regulators in this context.
