I'm a third-year PhD candidate and the Carl J. Friedrich Fellow in the Department of Government at Harvard University. In Summer 2025, I will be a Ph.D. Data Science Intern at Two Sigma.
I'm primarily interested in large-scale, structuralist questions of electoral behavior and political institutions. I'm also interested in measurement and computation.
At Harvard, I have taught the Ph.D.-level "Math Prefresher" and GOV 2020: The Hidden Curriculum (with Gary King), as well as STAT 186: Causal Inference (with Susan Murphy).
