I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Political Science and a faculty affiliate with the Division of Computational & Data Sciences at Washington University in St. Louis. I study political methodology, computational social science, political communication, and the media. My research has appeared in the American Political Science Review, the American Journal of Political Science, the Journal of Politics, Science, and the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, among other venues. The Society for Political Methodology has awarded me its Emerging Scholar Award and, twice, its Gosnell Prize for Excellence in Political Methodology.
