I am a postdoctoral researcher at MIT in the Department of Political Science & Sloan School of Management. I received my Ph.D. from the Department of Political Science at Duke University in the spring of 2021, where I was a member of the Duke Polarization Lab and Duke Initiative on Survey Methodology.
My research is at the intersection of political behavior and methodology, with a specific focus on misinformation and polarization. I draw on theories from cognitive and social psychology and use a wide range of methods, including field experiments, surveys, and natural language processing with social media data.
My work has been published in the American Journal of Political Science, Proceedings of the National Academy of the Sciences, and Public Opinion Quarterly (here and here).
