I’m a Postdoctoral Fellow with the Polarization Research Lab at Dartmouth College. I received my Ph.D. in Political Science at Columbia University in 2025, studying partisanship and polarization in American politics.

In my research, I examine (1) the causes and consequences of affective polarization among politicians, (2) potential institutional and social remedies for polarization, and (3) how political identities arise.

My work is supported by the Russell Sage Foundation, the Rapoport Family Foundation, the Eisenhower Institute, the Institute for Humane Studies, and the Center for Effective Lawmaking. My research is published in PNAS, American Politics Research, and the Journal of Social Computing.

In other projects, I study the origins of factional conflict in American politics. I also have research interests in political methodology: throughout my work, I apply machine learning, natural language processing, Bayesian statistics, and causal inference techniques to the study of polarization and intra-party conflict.

I graduated from Duke University in 2019, where I majored in Political Science and German. In my free time, I play guitar, piano, bass, and sing.
