About Me
Hello! I'm a computational social scientist and data scientist.
Currently, I am a Senior Research Methodologist at NORC at the University of Chicago.
I lead a variety of client and research projects in public policy domains such as health communication, public health, online trust & safety, religion, and U.S. politics.
I also oversee the robust and responsible implementation of several initiatives at the intersection of AI and survey research.
I hold a Ph.D. in Political Science and an A.M. in Statistics from Harvard and a B.S. in Computer Science and Mathematics from Tufts.
Previously, I've worked in research and data science roles at SurveyMonkey
and Microsoft Research,
and as a lecturer of quantitative methods at Columbia University.
I write about politics, data, and social science for a Substack newsletter called Somewhat Unlikely.
I'm currently based in NYC. If you're in the area, let's grab coffee some time.
