I’m currently a senior applied scientist at the Public Policy Group and Immigration Lab at ETH Zürich. I work on the Stop Hate Speech project, using natural language processing and both experimental and observational causal inference techniques to identify and counter hate speech online.

More generally, I like working at the intersection of data, causal inference, social science, and communication. This has taken different forms. Before ETH, I was FiveThirtyEight’s quantitative editor, checking writers’ data and code, editing articles for methodology and causal inference, and writing and contributing data analysis. (If you want to know more about what quantitative editing means at FiveThirtyEight, check out this outline of the process.) Before FiveThirtyEight, I was a Senior Analyst at the Analyst Institute, designing and analyzing field experiments for the 2018 election cycle.

In September 2018, I completed a PhD in Political Science at the London School of Economics' Department of Government. I visited the Institute for Quantitative Social Sciences at Harvard University in the spring of 2015 and NYU's Department of Politics in the fall of the same year. I was previously at Nuffield College, University of Oxford, for an MPhil in Politics (Comparative Government), and St Hilda's College in Oxford for a BA in History and Politics.
