I am a Research Assistant Professor at the University of Michigan's Survey Research Center. My research examines the roots of social stratification in the contemporary United States. My current work centers on the role of housing and housing policy in exacerbating racial and socioeconomic inequalities, with three main areas of focus: 1) the causes and consequences of residential growth controls, 2) the unequal effects of the tax treatment of homeownership, and 3) the effect of rising house prices on wealth inequality.  Methodologically, I use statistical methods and simulations to analyze survey and administrative data. My work has been published in leading sociology journals including the American Sociological Review, Social Forces, and Social Problems.

At Michigan, I am faculty at the Stone Center for Inequality Dynamics, and a Co-Investigator on the Wealth and Mobility Study, which is using tax and administrative records to create a public data infrastructure detailing the geographic distribution of wealth in the United States.

Before moving to Michigan, I was a Postdoctoral Research Associate at Brown University's Population Studies and Training Center. I received my PhD in Sociology from the University of California, Berkeley in 2021.
