I am an LSE Fellow in Advanced Quantitative Methodology in the Department of Methodology and a Research Affiliate at the LSE Data Science Institute. My research sits at the intersection of computational social science and political behavior, focusing on critical challenges facing contemporary democracies. My past and future work investigates the causes and consequences of right-wing populism, how political communication (especially online) shapes public opinion and behavior, and the politics surrounding climate change policy. To study those topics, I use computational and causal inference methods, combined with novel forms of digital trace, social media and other forms of spatial and administrative data. My research has been published in journals such as Political Communication, Comparative Political Studies and the American Political Science Review.
Before joining the Department of Methodology at LSE, I was a postdoctoral research fellow in the Department of Government at LSE where I worked with Prof. Sara Hobolt on the COVIDEU project. I completed my PhD in 2024 at the University of Glasgow.
