About me

I am a political scientist and computational social scientist, working as an Assistant Research Professor and Assistant Director at the Center for Social Data Analytics (C-SoDA) at Penn State University.

My research develops evaluation frameworks and oversight pipelines for AI-assisted measurement in social science, asking when AI-generated data can be trusted to support credible empirical inference. I build data infrastructure that makes AI applications in social science transparent, reproducible, and scalable. I also advance comparative public opinion research through Bayesian measurement models that generate cross-national data for the study of democratic governance and political trust.

I am dedicated to delivering high-quality teaching. My experience includes teaching graduate workshops and undergraduate courses in political science and social data analytics, with a focus on topics such as research design, quantitative methods, and advanced Bayesian analysis.

I earned my PhD in 2022 from the University of Iowa and subsequently served as a postdoctoral scholar at C-SoDA from 2022 to 2024 before transitioning to my current role.
