I am a Post-Doctoral Fellow on the NSF-Funded Digital Society Project, based at North Dakota State University in Fargo. I am also a team member of the Connect Elicit Learn Lab. I received my Ph.D. in political science from UW Milwaukee Political Science Department.
I am a political scientist comparatively studying authoritarian politics, with a substantive focus on affective polarization and democratic backsliding, and a methodological focus on computational and experimental analyses.
My research and/or writing has appeared in diverse outlets, including The Washington Post and peer-reviewed Democratization, Computation, and Ethnopolitics. Outlets such as POTUS Radio's The Trendline, Medium, and The Atlantic have covered my research.
Here is an up-to-date CV.
