Welcome! I am a PhD Candidate in the Department of Political Science at Stony Brook University.
My research focuses on the political consequences of psychological predispositions - namely, how anxiety (a facet of neuroticism) drives political responses to economic shocks and social cues. My work also spans topics in public opinion and political psychology such as the nature of political sophistication, the influence of ethnic diveristy on authoritarians' support for redistribution, and the psychometric validity of items used to measure democracy support in public opinion surveys. Methodologically, I combine standard approaches like survey experiments with techniques for analyzing panel data such as structural equation modeling, matching, and difference-in-differences.
My research has been published at the British Journal of Political Science and Social and Personality Psychology Compass.
