I am a Data Analyist (Applied ML) at LockerDome and an affiliated reseracher at the Immigration Policy Lab. I was previously a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Public Policy Group in the Department of Humanities, Social and Political Sciences at ETH Zurich. I received my PhD in Political Science from Washington University in St. Louis, and was a visiting scholar at the Department of Economics and Business Economics at Aarhus University.
My research focuses on immigrant integration and public attitudes toward immigrants. In particular, my work examines the impact of local contexts—e.g., the partisanship of municipal office holders, immigrant diversity, and the demographics of immigrants—on integration and the development of anti-immigrant attitudes. My main project studies the consequences of diversity within immigrant populations, showing that intra-immigrant diversity helps reduce hostility toward immigrants and facilitate their integration. Additionally, I study naturalization, seeking to identify the barriers to citizenship and the benefits of acquiring it, and how politics and policy affect anti-immigrant attitudes. Broadly, I am interested in political behavior, causal inference, political economy, political methodology, and public policy.
