Hello and welcome!
I am a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the Department of Government & Public Policy at the University of Strathclyde, where I have been working on the ParliView project since September 2025. Before moving to Glasgow, I earned my Ph.D. in Political Science at the University of California, Davis in June 2025 and was a 2024/2025 Bilinski Fellow.
My research focuses on political communication, public opinion, and electoral behavior in advanced industrial democracies. I am interested in a wide range of questions related to what shapes citizens’ attitudes about parties, policies, and representation, especially the influence of information and elite rhetoric. To study these questions, I frequently use survey experiments, large-N observational and survey data, and text-as-data methods. I am also involved with initiatives such as The Institute for Replication.
When I am not working, I love doing most things outside (especially hiking and gravel biking), reading (literary fiction and narrative non-fiction are my favorites), and watching Formula 1 (Tifosi 🏎️).
