Ph.D. Candidate

Rutgers University

I study how campaign communication, candidate characteristics, and political representation shape public opinion and democratic choice.

I am a doctoral candidate in American Politics and Statistical Methodology at Rutgers University. My work uses survey experiments, open-ended text, electoral returns, demographic data, and computational methods to answer questions about campaigns, representation, and voter behavior.

Current work

Negativity bias, representation, and AI-assisted survey research

My dissertation, Negativity Bias Revisited, examines how the effects of campaign appeals have changed over time. Related projects address candidate age, and generative AI for classifying open-ended survey responses.
