Hi, I'm a Postdoctoral Scholar at Florida State University. Previously, I obtained my PhD in Social Sciences from California Institute of Technology and my MSc in Econometrics and Mathematical Economics with Distinction from London School of Economics and Political Science. You can find my CV here.

My research focuses on American Politics and Political Methodology. In my substantive work, I study how election laws and policies affect turnout and voting behavior using causal inference methods. Given the importance of survey data and experiments in studying voting behavior, my methodological research asks a fundamental question: do surveys accurately represent voters' preferences and behavior? In both substantive and methodological work, I make heavy use of large-scale administrative records, such as voter files and Cast Vote Records, as well as survey data and experiments.
