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.
My work at NORC focuses on the application of quantitative social science to 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.
