Welcome! I am a PhD Candidate and Presidential Fellow in the Department of Sociology at The Ohio State University, with affiliations at the Mershon Center for International Security Studies and the Translational Data Analytics Institute. My research sits at the intersection of politics, culture, and group dynamics, with a particular focus on public discourse, political mobilization, and conflict. I also have a strong interest in research methods, especially mixed-methods approaches that bridge macro-level patterns with underlying social processes.

My research has appeared or is forthcoming in journals across the social sciences, including Social Problems, Criminology, and Social Science & Medicine. I also write for public audiences, with contributions to the Global Network on Extremism and Technology’s Insight Series and the European Consortium for Political Research’s The Loop, among others.

For examples of ongoing projects, data, and replication code, please see my Projects page and GitHub. Alternatively, check out some of my recent appearances in broadcast and other media, alongside coverage of my work. I also make music, some of which you can find here, alongside a music video.
