I am an assistant professor in the Department of Political Science at Florida State University. I study behavioral choice patterns using theoretical and experimental tools. My research focuses on institutional effects on economic and political behavior. I study voting and elections, political donation, and competition and coordination between ethnic groups. Before joining Florida State University, I received a Ph.D. in Politics from New York University. I teach game theory, quantitative methods, formal political economy, behavioral political economy, and experimental methods for undergraduate and graduate students.
