Thanks for stopping by! I am a quantitative social scientist, working as a postdoc at CSMaP. I am also a research fellow with Civic Health Project, and serve on the advisory board for Living Room Conversations. I received my PhD and MA in Political Science from Columbia University, and my BS in Economics from Brigham Young University.

Democracy and civil society have been shaken by the emergence of new tech. AI, recommendation-based social media, and alternative media like podcasts have disrupted how we interact with each other, presenting both barriers and opportunities. My research works to interrogate this shifting landscape and identify paths forward which preserve what works while reimagining institutional and societal trust.

I specialize in experimental design and causal inference, with projects ranging from small experiments on UX with AI and Reddit, to large-scale field experiments testing ranking algorithms and billboards. I am also trained in political economy, and use theoretical models to help explain and interpret my experimental findings.

Feel free to explore my current research agenda, teaching experience, and CV.
