Hello. I am a PhD candidate in the Department of Government at Harvard University and an affiliate in residence at the Institute for Quantitative Social Science. I also contribute to the Social Science Statistics blog here at IQSS. In July of 2012, I will start as an Assistant Professor of Political Science at the University of Rochester.

My research focuses on American politics and political methodology. In American politics, I study campaigns, the effectiveness of negative advertising, and Congressional staff networks. In methods, I work on dynamic causal inference, missing data, panel data, and social network analysis.
