About Me

I am a post doctoral researcher at the University of Grenoble Alpes.

I work as the quantitative lead for the POLINEQUAL project, which aims to understand how inequality is politicized across different national contexts. Our analyses include experimental, survey, and computational-text components.

I received my PhD at the University of Florida in 2023. At UF, my work focused on the role that structural differences within and across communities play in shaping political behavior. Substantively I focus on populism, highlighting that populist support is a causally complex phenomenon, with individuals in different contexts supporting populist candidates for different reasons. This creates potential for heterogeneous effects. Ultimately, I show how complex (3 or more component) interaction terms can be used to identify and better understand these complex relationships.

Beyond my work on populism, I am also interested in the institutions of the European Union. More specifically, I have published work on the informal agenda setting capacity of the European Parliament.
