Personal statement
I am a political and computational social science in the Department of Government and Public Policy. I joined the faculty in 2015 after three years as a post-doctoral researcher at the University of Mannheim in Germany. I completed my Ph.D. in political science at the University of Iowa in 2012.
My research explores the causes and consequences of intra-party politics for elections, government behaviour and public policy with a particular emphasis on how new technologies such as AI and LLMs impact on decision-making. I make extensive use of methods from Natural Language Processing and Machine learning in my research. My personal website contains additional information regarding my recent publications, replication datasets and ongoing projects.
