Visiting Assistant Professor · Data & Decision Sciences · Emory University

Welcome! I am a visiting assistant professor at Emory’s Department of Data and Decision Sciences, where I teach courses on experimental methods, data science computing, and AI for the social sciences.

My research looks at how developing countries solve collective action problems and reduce political violence, mostly in Latin America. I use survey and field experiments, machine learning, and administrative data, and my papers have appeared in journals including the American Journal of Political Science and the British Journal of Political Science. I am also an EGAP Fellow and an Honorary Senior Fellow at the University of Lincoln.
