I am an Assistant Professor of Political Science at the University of Houston. From 2024-2025, I am a Visiting Assistant Professor at Harvard University. I am additionally a faculty affiliate of the Political Psychology Research Group (PPRG) at Stanford University and the Center for American Political Studies (CAPS) at Harvard University. My Ph.D. in political science is from Duke University, where I was also a member of Scott Huettel's neuroscience laboratory in Duke's Psychology and Neuroscience department.
I am a quantitative methodologist specializing in causal inference and experimental methods. My work uses eye tracking to obtain direct measures of decision processes, information accrual, and attention. Substantively, I study questions of voter behavior, with an emphasis on candidate choice.
