I am an Assistant Professor in the Division of the Humanities and Social Sciences at the California Institute of Technology. I previously served as a Postdoctoral Associate at the Cowles Foundation for Research in Economics at Yale University. I received my Ph.D. from Princeton University, where I was affiliated with the Research Program in Political Economy and was awarded the Charlotte Elizabeth Procter Fellowship.
My research examines collective decision-making in committees and elections using quantitative methods, including structural estimation, causal inference, experimental approaches, and text analysis. I study sequential decision-making in institutions such as the Federal Open Market Committee and the U.S. Supreme Court. More broadly, my work focuses on electoral competition and voting behavior in the United States, Mexico, and the Philippines.
