I’m a computational social scientist/data scientist and am currently pursuing a PhD at the University of Pennsylvania. I study the causes and consequences of partisanship, with a specific focus on affective polarization, partisan identity, and political violence. My research methodology involves harnessing data from diverse sources such as observational and trace data, surveys, and experiments, and utilizing a wide range of statistical techniques. I leverage both classical statistical methods such as regression, decision trees, PCA, and bayes factors, as well as cutting-edge methods such as machine learning, natural language processing, XGBoost, and neural networks to analyze and interpret complex data sets.
