Noah Dasanaike


Hi, I'm Noah. I'm a fourth-year PhD candidate and the Carl J. Friedrich Fellow in the Department of Government at Harvard University, where I also received my BA (2022). In the Summer of 2025, I was a Quantitative Research 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 twice taught the Ph.D.-level "Math Prefresher" and GOV 2020: The Hidden Curriculum (for Gary King). I have also taught STAT 186: Causal Inference (for Susan Murphy) and GOV 97: Political Geography (instructor on record).
