Hello

I am post-doctoral researcher at the University of Oxford working on the DemDiologue project. I was formerly a post-doctoral researcher at the University of Amsterdam working on the Horizon-funded project TWON (Twin of Online Networks). I received my PhD in Political Science from American University in 2022.

My research agenda focuses on electoral politics, broadly defined, with an emphasis on communication strategies from political elites and how voters understand and process these communications. Methodologically, I assemble large, novel, datasets and use machine learning and natural language processing for text classification. Currently, my post-doctoral research has focused on the use of large-language models for text generation and text classification tasks.

My research has been published in outlets such as the American Journal of Political Science, the British Journal of Political Science, Political Communication, Legislative Studies Quarterly, and Electoral Politics, and has been featured in popular media outlets such as The Washington Post, Fivethirtyeight, and NBC News. My article "Be Careful What You Wish For: The Impacts of President Trump’s Midterm Endorsements" with Andrew Ballard and Hans Hassell won the 2023 Jewell-Loewenberg Prize for the best article in american Politics from the Legislative Politics section of the American Political science Association.
