Causal Inference, Political Behavior
Welcome! I’m a PhD student in political science at the University of Chicago, where I’m jointly enrolled in the MS program in statistics. I study political behavior and applied research methodology. My methodological work develops data-adaptive experimental designs and refines quasi-experimental methods for evaluating policy impacts. My substantive projects examine the political economy of industrial policies in the United States. My work has been supported by the National Science Foundation, the American Political Science Association, and the Horowitz Foundation, among others.
