Welcome to my website! I am an assistant professor at Duke University. I recently earned my Ph.D. from Columbia University.
My research uses formal theory to study the organizational decisions of political parties. I investigate how features of the competitive environment – such as electoral institutions and polarization – affect parties’ behavior in the electoral arena and in legislatures. This agenda mainly focuses on intra-party politics, electoral competition, and multi-party elections. I also study with experiments how information affects voters’ behavior.
