Welcome!
I am an Assistant Professor in Computational Social Science at Georgetown University’s McCourt School of Public Policy. Before joining Georgetown, I was a Postdoctoral Fellow at NYU’s Center for Social Media and Politics and a Misinformation Researcher at Twitter. I received my Ph.D. in Political Science from the University of Maryland, College Park.
My research examines the intersection of social media, online misinformation, and political behavior, with a focus on Global South countries. I primarily pursue a comparative approach to these issues, paying particular attention to Global South countries and using multi-country large-scale designs to study the intersection of social media and politics. Methodologically, I am interested in survey research in the digital space, large-scale digital experimentation, and the use of large language models in applied social science research.
My research is interdisciplinary and has appeared in general science outlets (Accepted in Principle at Nature, Nature Scientific Reports, and PLOS ONE), leading journals across Political Science (The Journal of Politics, Political Analysis, Comparative Political Studies, among others), and Communications (Journal of Communication (x2), New Media & Society, International Journal of Press/Politics, among others).
