I am a Ph.D. Candidate and Presidential Fellow in Sociology at The Ohio State University, with affiliations at the Mershon Center for International Security Studies and the Translational Data Analytics Institute. Previously, I earned an M.A. in International Relations from the University of Chicago and a B.Sc. in Philosophy, Politics, and Economics from the London School of Economics and Political Science.

My research examines the cultural and social processes that underpin political attitudes and behaviors, with an emphasis on social division, collective identity, and conflict. To do so, I draw on and develop computational, quantitative, and mixed-method approaches. My work has appeared or is forthcoming in journals across the social sciences, including Social Forces, Social Problems, Political Psychology, Political Analysis, Criminology, and Social Science & Medicine. I also have a co-authored book under contract (with SAGE) on mediation analysis in the social sciences.

For a full list of publications and ongoing projects, please see my CV. I also write for and speak to public audiences, including podcasts and news media. Outside of research, I write and perform music (some of which can be found here, along with a music video). I also enjoy playing chess, outdoor sports (of most kinds, but especially those involving water), and hiking with my dog.
