​I am a Ph.D. candidate in Political Science at Yale University and a Graduate Student Fellow at the Institution for Social and Policy Studies (ISPS). Additionally, I served as the founding manager of the ISPS Behavioral Research Lab.

​Starting June 2018, I will be a Presidential Postdoctoral Fellow at Cornell University and a Postdoctoral Associate in the Department of Government.

I study American politics, political economy, and methodology. My substantive research centers on understanding how citizens form preferences about economic policies, focusing on their demands for redistribution and government spending. I also work on methodology, with interests in experimental design and analysis, causal inference, and applied statistics. My research has been supported by the Tobin Project and ISPS.

I hold an A.B. in Economics from the University of Chicago, and an M.A. in Statistics from Yale. Prior to graduate school, I was an economic consultant at Analysis Group, Inc.
