Welcome!
Thanks for stopping by!
I am a post-doctoral scholar in the Center for Social Data Analytics (C-SoDA) at Penn State University. I specialize in comparative politics and political methodology. My research attempts to understand the interaction between public opinion and policymaking, policy output, policy outcomes and policy feedback as a process in governance from a comparative perspective. Specifically, I focus on public health and economic policies.
My method interest includes latent variable measurements in public opinion, Bayesian Analysis, and machine-learning in non-traditional data.
