I'm currently an Assistant Professor of Political Science and Statistics & Data Science at Yale. My research broadly focuses on developing robust statistical methods to credibly estimate causal effects under real-world complications.
Before this, I was a Postdoctoral Fellow at Harvard, working with Kosuke Imai. I received my Ph.D. in Statistics at the Unversity of California, Berkeley, where I was fortunate to be advised by Erin Hartman.
