Thank you for your visit! I am a Postdoctoral Scholar at Stanford University’s Polarization and Social Change Lab and the Human Artificial Intelligence lab. I received my Ph.D. in Political Science from the European University Institute (EUI) in 2023.
My research focuses on the politics and societies of advanced democracies and lies at the intersection of comparative politics and political behaviour. Two questions define my research agenda: 1) What are the origins of contemporary political divisions? And 2) how can democracy be strengthened by re-engaging voters and bridging political divides? I am exploring both these topics leveraging quantitative scientific methods that employ an experimental logic, specifically (field and survey) experiments, methods of causal inference, as well as novel computational methods leveraging large language models. Alongside my substantive research agenda, I am studying the use of large language models in social-scientific research methods. My research has been published at PNAS, the American Political Science Review, and the Journal of Politics, among other outlets.
