      CV

Thank you for visiting! I am an LSE Fellow in Advanced Quantitative Methods at the Department of Methodology in the London School of Economics and Political Science. I study public opinion and political behaviour in democracies, with a focus on political trust. I do this primarily by analysing survey data from long-run panels and family/twin studies. I also engage in methodological research about the reproducibility of the social sciences. My work has been published in the Journal of Politics and the British Journal of Political Science, and it has been mentioned in The Guardian. At the LSE, I teach courses on applied regression analysis, computer programming, and the social science applications of generative artificial intelligence.
